The Gunners were held by Villarreal in the semi-final on Thursday as their 2020-21 failures continued to mount
Bernd Leno described Arsenal's dressing room mood as somber after they exited the Europa League through a 0-0 semi-final second leg draw with Villarreal on Thursday.
The goalkeeper called the Gunners' performance "not good enough" and "very hard for all of us" as the hosts failed to overturn their 2-1 deficit from the first leg. They managed just two shots on target despite holding the vast majority of possession.
Arsenal are now almost certainly out of contention for Champions League qualification, as the Europa League had served as the club's last realistic avenue to earn a place in next year's tournament given their subpar domestic campaign.
