Arsene Wenger 'frustrated' to not win group

Arsene Wenger praises his players but admits his frustration after finishing second in Group D of the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger has said that he is frustrated that Arsenal were only able to progress to the last 16 of the Champions League as runners-up despite a 4-1 victory away at Galatasaray.

The Gunners raced into a 3-0 lead inside the first half in Istanbul, briefly raising hopes of a six or seven-goal victory, which might have seen them go through as winners of the group.

However, they had to settle for progression as runners-up after Borussia Dortmund's 1-1 draw at home to Anderlecht sealed top spot for the German outfit.

"There's a little bit of frustration that we have finished runners-up, but we knew at half time we needed to score six goals without conceding," Wenger told BBC Sport.

"Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, we finished with 13 points and did the job tonight.

"We came out strong and that's what I wanted from these players."

This is the 15th year in a row that the Gunners are through to the knockout round of the competition.
