Aaron Ramsey bemoans missed opportunities

Aaron Ramsey was left to rue Arsenal's missed chances following their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona at the Emirates Stadium this evening.

The likes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Olivier Giroud both failed to convert presentable opportunities before Lionel Messi struck twice to leave Barca in a commanding position ahead of the return clash next month.

Speaking to BT Sport after the final whistle, Ramsey said: "It's obviously going to be tough for us now.

"We created a couple of opportunities, especially in the first half. Against a side like that you have to take them."

The Gunners will travel to Camp Nou for the second leg on Wednesday, March 16.
