SHOCKING: This Is Why European Champions Italy Are Not Going To The 2022 World Cup

European champions Italy miss out on the 2022 World Cup after North Macedonia stunned them in the playoffs.

Aleksandar Trajkovski fired from outside the area in the 92nd minute to grab the winner for his side.

The winner sparked wild jubilations from the bench as the Italy side were in disappointment.

The Azzurri failed to qualify for the World Cup for the second consecutive time meaning they have to wait to count their luck for the next Worldcup.

It was just eight months ago when Italy were crowned champions of Europe after beating England in the final of the Euro 2020.

North Macedonia are 90 minutes away from reaching consecutive tournaments having never reached a Euros or World Cup before qualifying for Euro 2020.

North Macedonia will play Portugal in the final playoff, Portugal beat Turkey 3-1 to qualify for the next phase
