Qualification for this season’s Champions League group stage eluded Jose Mourinho and his team at Fenerbahce.
The Turkish side suffered a 3-2 aggregate loss to Lille on Tuesday, resulting in their elimination from the competition.
The pivotal moment came with Jonathan David’s extra-time penalty in the decisive match.
Fenerbahce had been trailing since losing the first leg 2-1 last week, but a late own goal by Bafode Diakite forced the game into extra time.
Lille, on the other hand, have secured a spot in the final qualifying round, where they will square off against either Slavia Prague or Union Saint-Gilloise.
Mourinho’s tenure at Fenerbahce is off to a disappointing start as he seeks to guide the team to their first Turkish title since 2014.
