In Norway, people are licking the wounds after the Europa League elimination of Rosenborg BK by PSV, according to a tour of the local press. The visitors from Eindhoven were 0-2 too strong in Trondheim.
The leading Dagbladet takes the opportunity to burn down Rosenborg. ‘We’ve seen it all season: it’s not good enough. In the Norwegian league, Rosenborg somehow holds up, but in Europe it is much more difficult. Although the team has been strengthened on all fronts, Rosenborg is still not at the level they should be ‘, it sounds.
‘Rosenborg actually had no chance against PSV, although it was not as painful as last year (1-4 in Trondheim, ed.). Speed is essential on the international stage. Rosenborg doesn’t have it. Ultimately, there is simply not enough quality. Is it surprising? Not quite. For Rosenborg, whose ambitions are built on Europe’s historic heyday, it’s embarrassing. ‘

Rosenborg comes off better Aftenposten, which also has an eye for the performance of PSV. On Thursday evening, Rosenborg suffered his first defeat under the leadership of trainer Age Hareide. The club wished it had happened in a different match, ‘the morning paper said.
Rosenborg had the chances, but PSV was effective. And that while the home team still had the best start. Then the Dutch took matters somewhat surprisingly, to take the lead through debutant Eran Zahavi. After the opening goal, Rosenborg kept pushing, but PSV had clearly done its homework. No space, few opportunities. ‘
“Efficiency was the big difference between Rosenborg and PSV,” said Trønder Avisa, that speaks of a ‘heroic’ Rosenborg. ‘When it came down to it, luck wasn’t on RBK’s side. Cody Gakpo made the decision in the second half. From an awkward position, he sent the ball to the right corner: after the extremely strong completion of PSV’s number 19, it was over. ‘
