Juventus 3-2 Galatasaray (26 Feb, 2026) Game Analysis

Juventus came close to completing one of the great Champions League second-leg comebacks before being eliminated by Galatasaray after extra time on Wednesday.

Trailing 5-2 from the first leg of their playoff tie, Juve went ahead against Galatasaray when Manuel Locatelli converted a penalty before halftime and overcame a red card to its defender Lloyd Kelly by scoring more goals through Federico Gatti and Weston McKennie to take the game to extra time.

It could have been worse for Galatasaray, with Kenan Yildız also hitting the post for Juventus in regulation.

Galatasaray fought back in the added 30 minutes with an extra man, scoring through Victor Osimhen and Baris Alper Yilmaz as Juve won 3-2 on the night but lost 7-5 on aggregate.
