On a night when both sides needed to win to stand any chance of progressing, goals from Christian Pulisic and Chukwueze handed the Serie A side a 2-1 victory.
However, it was not enough to prolong their involvement in the competition following a 1-1 draw between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain in Germany.
Seven-time winners Milan at least have the consolation of a Europa League berth while Eddie Howe’s men, who took a 33rd-minute lead through Joelinton’s piledriver in front of a crowd of 52,037 on Wednesday night (Thursday AEDT), slipped out of Europe all together after finishing bottom of Group F in their first campaign since 2002-03.
