Emmanuel Petit: 'Arsenal owe fans a victory in Monaco'

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit says that the Gunners owe it to themselves and their fans to overturn a two-goal deficit to AS Monaco in their last-16 tie.

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit has stated that the Gunners owe it to themselves and their fans to make Champions League history by overcoming AS Monaco.

Arsene Wenger's side fell to a 3-1 defeat to the French side in the first leg of their last-16 tie at the Emirates Stadium three weeks ago.

The second leg takes place at the Stade Louis II on Wednesday evening, and Petit believes that Arsenal can become the first team to come from two goals behind in a Champions League away tie to progress.

"They can do it," he told Le Parisien. "The players owe it to themselves to take revenge. In the first leg, they were below-par in everything, they were unworthy of Arsenal's class.

"They also owe it to the supporters to avenge that defeat. Motivation will be easy to find. There is a feat to be achieved, like PSG against Chelsea. Arsenal can make history by qualifying.

"The trap for Arsenal will be to go forward gung-ho. Wenger has to find a balance and his players need to be more efficient. If Arsenal score early, they will sow doubt among the Monaco players."

The North Londoners have not reached the quarter-finals of the competition since 2010.
