Proud Tomas Rosicky rues Champions League exit

Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has admitted that he is proud of the club despite their Champions league exit this week.

Rosicky scored in the 3-0 victory over AC Milan on Wednesday but crashed out of the competition following a 4-3 aggregate defeat.

The Czech midfielder told Arsenal Player: "We can go out with our heads held high but we blew it in Milan.

"We knew [that we would be making history if we came back] and that's what the boss told us in the pre-match speech. Who wouldn't want to be part of something special? So of course we were up for it and I think you could see that. So it's a shame."

Arsene Wenger's side are currently in a battle to qualify for next season's Champions League and occupy fourth in the Premier League.
