🎥 Galatasaray oust Juventus in epic, Real and PSG progress | OneFootball

The greatest champion has passed.

The current winner too.

However, the Juventus versus Galatasaray match should have ended along with the Real and PSG games.

But the Italian team defied logic by chasing a 3-0 score, scoring twice after being down to ten men.

A score that took the decision to extra time after the Turkish team's 5-2 victory in the first leg.

Extra time came, along with goals from Osimhen and Yilmaz.

Which sealed the Turkish team's qualification to the round of 16 with a 7-5 aggregate victory.

This Wednesday (25th) started with Atalanta qualifying in epic fashion after a comeback and a saving goal in the final minute.

Atlético de Madrid, Bodø/Glimt, Newcastle, and Bayer Leverkusen had already advanced on Tuesday.

Check below for a summary of the games that ended at 5 PM (Brasília time).

🇮🇹 Juventus 3 x 2 Galatasaray 🇹🇷 - 5x7 aggregate

The need to secure a victory by at least three goals made Juventus take control of the game.

The pressure only paid off after the penalty committed by Torreira on Weha, which Locatelli converted (37').

The second half began, and just three minutes in, the home team saw their situation worsen. Already booked, Kelly stepped on Yilmaz's heel and was sent off.

But Juventus did not give up.

They faced the Turkish team with courage and competence, scoring twice with a man down thanks to goals from Gatti, as if he were a number 9 at 70', and McKennie with a header (82').

Galatasaray became more comfortable with the ball in extra time, making their numerical advantage count.

And they scored with Osimhen (105').

The second half of extra time saw the Italian team persist.

But without success.

Leaving space for the lethal rival, who scored again with Yilmaz (119').

Sealing their qualification to the round of 16.

Juventus fought but left the field to much applause.

🇫🇷 PSG 2 x 2 Monaco 🇫🇷 - 5x4 aggregate

The territorial control of Luis Enrique's team had no effect before the break.

The best goal chance came with Barcola, who hit the crossbar.

The Principality team was more effective, working the ball well with Caio Henrique's participation and scoring with Akliouche (45').

They could have even gone into the break with a greater advantage.

Monaco suffered two hard blows in quick succession at the start of the second half.

Booked four minutes earlier, Coulibaly fouled Hakimi and was sent off.

And it took just a minute for PSG to equalize with Marquinhos after a free-kick (60').

The turnaround came with Kvaratskhelia picking up a rebound (66').

Monaco did not stop dreaming. But Teze's goal came at 91'.

And the 2-2 meant the current UCL champion's qualification after the 3-2 victory in the Principality.

🇪🇸 Real Madrid 2 x 1 Benfica 🇵🇹 - 3x1 aggregate

There was another Madrid victory after a good game at the Bernabéu.

Benfica ignored the "Bernabéu factor" to have a superior start, posing difficulties on the flanks.

With several absences from midfield forward, Real relied on Vini.

It was the lethal Benfica who took the lead thanks to Rafa Silva after Courtois prevented an own goal by Asencio (14').

But the reaction came soon at 16 with Tchouameni completing Valverde's pass.

The first half also saw a Real goal disallowed, more Vini Jr. gaining an advantage, and Courtois frustrating Richard Ríos.

Benfica did not give up.

But there was a Vini Jr. on the other side.

He received from Valverde, left no chance for Otamendi, and scored (80').

A goal that sealed the qualification of a Real full of absences against a valiant Benfica.
