Lokomotiv Moscow missed their chance to qualify for the Europa League as they were beaten 1-0 by Schalke at the Veltins Arena on Tuesday.
Schalke had already booked their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League but Lokomotiv's hopes of European football in the new year were reliant on them getting a win in Germany and Galatasaray failing to gain victory at home to Porto.
Gala were beaten 3-2 by the Portuguese champions but Lokomotiv could not keep their own end of the bargain, sending the Turkish club into the Europa League as Group D's third-placed side.
