Galatasaray has pulled off one of the biggest shocks of the UEFA Champions League play-offs, defeating Juventus five to two in Istanbul. The Turkish side took full control of the first-leg clash, leaving the Italian giants stunned ahead of the return in Turin.
Victor Osimhen played a key role, setting up two goals with clever movement and relentless pressing. His presence caused constant problems for the Juventus defence and helped shift momentum firmly in Galatasaray’s favour.
The match was a flurry of action. Juventus briefly led before Galatasaray responded with goals from Noa Lang and Davinson Sánchez. A red card for Juventus defender Cabal left the visitors vulnerable and allowed Galatasaray to extend their lead further.
