Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says his team's season is not finished despite being knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Blackburn.
.
The Gunners have not won silverware since the 2005 FA Cup and only have the Champions League left this season as they face Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
.
Wenger said: "It is very painful to lose a game like that. What is important is to focus on the next one.
.
"The season is not over. For you maybe, not for me."
.
Wenger, 63, added: "If we feel sorry for ourselves we would be completely wrong. We have a massive game on Tuesday night and we have to show that we have some response in the team."
.
Arsenal, who are fifth in the Premier League, dominated the game at the Emirates with Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla starting on the bench and introduced after 70 minutes.
.
But two minutes later Colin Kazim-Richards's goal secured a shock win as Arsenal lost their first FA Cup game to lower league opposition since 1996.
.
The Gunners lost to League Two Bradford in the Capital One Cup in December.
