"There's got to be a lot of hard questions to be answered after this," Lennon told BBC Radio5Live.
"This is a debacle. It's really sad to see.
"It's 10 goals... 10 over two games! When have we ever seen that from a Champions League team in the last 16?
"You would expect maybe if it was a Greek or Cypriot team who'd qualified but certainly not a Premier League team of this stature.
"It's a real sore one."
Arsenal have now crashed out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage in the last seven seasons.
