Erling Haaland wasn't in the Borussia Dortmund squad who were shocked by Rangers on Thursday night, but he will be well aware of the implications of their early Europa League exit.
After a third-placed finish in their Champions League group this season, Dortmund were entered into a play-off for the Europa League knock-outs and paired with Scottish champions Rangers.
It wasn't the competition they wanted to be in, but it represented a chance of European silverware that others have used to build on and challenge for bigger titles.
