Eindhoven centre-back Andre Ramalho made a horrible error in the back line, which allowed Glasgow Rangers to score, win and reach the Champions League

If you're reading this report on Thursday morning, you probably had your fair share of sleep, at least six, seven hours of it, hopefully, eight. However, PSV Eindhoven centre-back Andre Ramalho probably suffered a terrible, sleepless night as his dreadful error haunted him until the morning.

On Wednesday night, the Brazilian defender lost the ball in a critical moment of the UCL playoffs return leg against Glasgow Rangers. It resulted in the rivals' goal, which tarnished PSV's dreams of reaching the Champions League after five-year-long hiatus. Instead, the Scottish side won 1-0 (3-2 on aggregate) and will play in the elite after more than a decade of absence (they have been out of it ever since 2010).

However, this Colak's winner at the Philips Stadion pushed Giovanni van Bronckhorst to his first UCL qualification as a coach. Moreover, Rangers will earn at least 24m thanks to this victory because that's the amount of money every UCL participant gets from the UEFA.

His longtime friend and former Oranje teammate Ruud van Nistelrooy was left in despair and will have to settle with the UEFA Europa League.
