Four-time winners Italy will miss out on the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia after they could only draw 0-0 with Sweden at the San Siro in the second leg of their play-off on Monday, Bleacher Report informs.
Jakob Johansson had given Sweden a 1-0 lead in the tie after he netted in Friday's first leg, and the visitors then produced an immaculate defensive performance in Milan to book their spot at 2018's tournament.
Italy will not be present at their first World Cup since 1958, and manager Gian Piero Ventura is likely to face huge criticism for failing to see the Azzurri through.
