Monaco Paid For Mistakes In Champions League Exit Insists Leonardo Jardim
After a 4-1 mauling at home to RB Leipzig sent Monaco crashing out of Europe, coach Leonardo Jardim bemoaned his side's individual errors.
Leonardo Jardim blamed individual errors after a 4-1 defeat at home to RB Leipzig on Tuesday saw Monaco crash out of the Champions League.
With the Ligue 1 champions now guaranteed to finish bottom of Group G, having failed to win any of their five matches, last season's semi-finalists cannot even qualify for the Europa League.
A pair of Jemerson gaffes left Monaco 2-0 down in the opening 10 minutes and those errors were followed by captain Radamel Falcao clumsily giving away a penalty, leaving a frustrated Jardim to bemoan his side's lapses in concentration.
"We paid a lot… for our mistakes," Jardim said. "We were not at the level required of a competition like this.
"The disappointment is very strong, we had the goal of bouncing back and winning tonight.
"And then our opponent was successful: four goals in three shots on target - but we were not up to the Champions League this season."
