Arsene Wenger was furious with referee Peter Frojdfeldt Ryan Babel after a penalty-shot won the match against Liverpool on his side.
Wenger, clearly emotional in the wake of his side the Champions League elimination, could not understand why Liverpool's Ryan Babel received a penalty.
"It's a bad decision, I think, the referee, but there was still a lack of concentration in the immediate aftermath, he went 2-2. They found in the box of Babel straight from kickoff, and that's where the concentration dropped a little.
"The punishment decisions made the difference, I do not know - I think we have to live with that, and for seven, eight weeks in football, we have to swallow sometimes, which is not swallowed, but and this is how we must live with Who at the moment.
"It is very difficult for me to understand, but we must also accept that and accept that in a game like that in which we had so much control, we were too naive, and we lacked a little maturity defensive."
But midfielder Ryan Babel saying after the game, is it a penalty.
"I think so, yes. It kept me a little and tried to take the chance of me. At the end, I did not have the opportunity to reach the ball. If they take that away from me, I think it was a penalty. "

Wenger: Penalty, it's a bad decision
Wenger frustrated by ruffled Arsenal
Arsenal FC manager Arsène Wenger said his side did not get the result their performance merited and lamented the "lost composure" among his players following Liverpool FC's equaliser. The 1-1 draw in London has, according to Wenger's opposite number Rafael Benítez, left this UEFA Champions League quarter-final wide open – with the Merseysiders in a particularly "good situation" going into the second leg.
Wenger says, "I feel we were not well rewarded for what we produced tonight. To finish a game like that at 1-1 is very disappointing, but we delivered the performance we wanted and overall we had chances to win. Liverpool created very little and the whole second half was played in their half. I cannot fault the players and we were unlucky in a few circumstances – I don't know how the ball didn't go in when it hit Nicklas Bendtner. It's difficult because Liverpool defended very deep so it was hard to find space. In a game like that you do not make 20 chances, you create four or five and we were punished on the one they had.
