Overview
- Juventus led 2-1 at the break in Istanbul after a first‑half brace from Teun Koopmeiners.
- Halftime substitute Juan Cabal made key mistakes and was sent off on a second yellow within about 20 minutes; earlier, Gleison Bremer left with a muscular issue that will be evaluated.
- Noa Lang struck twice for Galatasaray, with Davinson Sanchez and Sacha Boey also on the scoresheet in the second‑half surge.
- Spalletti criticized the regression and warned his side are “always at risk of conceding,” as Juventus have shipped 13 goals across their last four matches.
- Juventus must win by at least three goals in next week’s return in Turin—3-0 to force extra time—to keep their Champions League campaign alive.
