PSV EINDHOVEN HAVE failed to qualify for the main stage of a European competition for the first time since 1973.
The Dutch side had already been embarrassed by their Croatian opponents Osijek in the first-leg of their Europa League third round qualifier, losing 1-0 at home and they fell to another defeat earlier tonight to go down 2-0 on aggregate.
Elsewhere, Everton are safely through to Friday’s play-off draw after a 1-0 victory over Slovakian outfit MFK Ruzomberok. Holding a 1-0 lead from the first game, substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored 11 minutes after being introduced to ensure a 2-0 aggregate win.
Big spenders Milan racked up a 2-0 (3-0 agg) triumph over Romanian side Universitatea Craiova.
Incredibly, it was the Rossoneri’s first European win in three years and they did so in front of a mammoth 65,763 crowd at San Siro – a qualifying/play-off record.
Marseille and Athletic Bilbao also march on but there was one other shock as Bordeaux exited at the hands of Hungarian side Videoton.
