Published: August 26, 2015
Elderson Echiejile was disappointed that Monaco have been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League after losing 4 -3 on aggregate to Valencia on Tuesday.
Therefore, the left back’s goal 15 minutes from time was in vain, with the Principality side failing to score a third that would have taken the game to extra time.

“Painful to have missed out of the champions league in such a way. We will repay your faith....#OurFans #UCL, ” Echiejile posted on Twitter.
