'We stopped playing' - Henry worried by Monaco's Champions League capitulation

The new manager saw his side bounced out of the Champions League but was more concerned with his side's reaction to failure

Thierry Henry believes that his Monaco side "stopped playing" after missing an early chance in a 4-0 defeat to Club Brugge that saw them crash out of the Champions League.

Sofiane Diop had a great opportunity to preserve Monaco's slim hopes of staying in the competition, but Brugge goalkeeper Ethan Horvath made a superb save.

That was the only chance Monaco – who sit second bottom in Ligue 1 and face runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain next – manufactured, however, as the visitors cruised to a first Champions League victory since 2003.
