Arsene Wenger branded Arsenal's display 'one of their worst ever' as they suffered an ignominious 4-0 defeat by a ruthless Milan in the Champions League.
The Gunners are hanging by a thread to Europe's Premier club competition after being outclassed in the last 16 first leg at the San Siro.
Robinho's brace put the Rossoneri in control following Kevin-Prince Boateng's opener, with the irrepressible Zlatan Ibrahimovic capping a fine night with a late penalty.
"It's very difficult, but what's more difficult to take was the performance we produced tonight," he told Sky Sports.
"Defeat can sometimes happen when you play well, but I felt that defensively and especially offensively we were poor.
"We were in trouble with the same problem, the ball over the top. Slow to read the game and slow to respond. Well beaten in the challenges. Of course it was a big, big problem for us the whole night.
"It was our worst performance in Europe by far, there was not one moment we were really in the game. It was a big shock.
"Statistically it's too big a deficit. We will try of course, but there's very little hope there."
Arsenal lost Laurent Koscielny with a knee injury and Wenger is not expecting him to feature in the FA Cup at Sunderland this weekend.
"It looks like a knee problem. We've lost (Per) Mertesacker. We've lost Koscielny tonight. It's a big concern," he added.
