In the Champions League playoff clash, Juventus started strong by leading 2-1 at halftime against Galatasaray. However, the second half saw a complete turnaround as Galatasaray's players took charge of the game. After halftime, Noa Lang scored twice, followed by a goal from Davinson Sanchez and a fifth goal from Sacha Boey, marking a disastrous second half for Juventus.

The pivotal moment came when Juventus's Juan Cabal, who had just been substituted in at halftime, received a yellow-red card in the 67th minute, reducing his team to ten men and effectively shifting the momentum further in favor of Galatasaray. Leroy Sané, a recent returnee from injury, played a part in the game by being substituted in the 70th minute, but was unable to turn the tide for Juventus. Ilkay Gündoğan remained on the bench without making an appearance, highlighting a lack of impact from the Italian side during the critical moments of the match.

This loss not only puts Juventus at a disadvantage going into the second leg of the playoffs, but it also raises concerns about their performance and strategy in high-stakes matches, especially in a prestigious tournament like the Champions League. With the aggregate score heavily favoring Galatasaray, Juventus faces a difficult task ahead as they attempt to recover and prove their competitive mettle in the next leg of the playoffs.
