The Dutch side needed a win to keep alive any hope of progressing from Group H after taking just two points from their opening four games, but were unable to find a way past visiting keeper Antonis Nikopolidis.

Koeman, though, felt his side were the only one which looked like winning the game.

He told AZ's official website: "Olympiacos played for a point. We played for the full three points and had most of the game.

"I cannot criticise the team. They did everything, but it was always just not enough."

Belgium international Sebastien Pocognoli echoed his boss's thoughts.

He said: "I am disappointed by our elimination from the Champions League. On the other hand, we again played well. Especially in the second half, we were strong.

"But ultimately it is the result that counts. And a draw is not enough."
