In extra time, however, energy wanes, and goals from Osimhen and Baris crush the hopes of Luciano Spalletti's team. The Juventus Stadium applauds continuously and chants even after the final whistle. An achievement just missed.

😤 Alper scores, game over at the Stadium

At 119', the 3-2 arrives, sealing Juventus' elimination from the Champions League. Baris Alper scores the goal that closes the game, exploiting Singo's excellent through ball and anticipating Osimhen, who would have been offside. The Stadium applauds the team anyway, which tried every way to reach the round of 16.

🤦🏻?♂️ CURSE Juve, Osimhen scores

In the 1st minute of injury time, Juventus concedes the goal that risks condemning them to elimination from the Champions League.  A bad ball lost by Boga allows Galatasaray to attack with many men and exploit the opponent's fatigue.

Ball from Icardi to Osimhen, who easily gets rid of Gatti and shoots between Perin's legs. The Nigerian striker, often at odds even with teammates during the 105', doesn't even celebrate after his 16th goal of the season.

😭 Zhegrova misses the 4-0

Zhegrova incredibly misses the 4-0 goal at the 96th minute. McKennie gives him the ideal assist, allowing him to shoot with the entire goal open, but he tries to place it at the far post and shoots terribly, with the ball going wide by a lot. A huge mistake.

👏🏻 Extra time: standing ovation at the Stadium

Juve achieves in 90 minutes a feat that was hard to imagine even with equal numbers, scoring two goals with 10 against 11.

Now, however, there is extra time. The Allianz Stadium appreciated what the team accomplished and gave them a standing ovation. As reported by Prime, even the Bianconeri believe: the mantra in the mini technical time-out was "Now let's go get it."

🪄 McKennie's hat-trick, heroic Juve

At the 82nd minute, Juventus manages to score the 3-0 with Weston McKennie, exploiting his great skill in making runs.

Long header by Koopmeiners from a set-piece from the three-quarters, the Texan arrives at the far post and from very close range puts the ball in the net. Eighth goal of the season for the Bianconeri's joker.

😰 Yildiz hits the post, unlucky Juve

At the 79th minute, on a splendid action by Boga, Yildiz lunges at his cross to the far post but only hits the post. Another great regret for the Bianconeri team.

😡 Thuram's anger: furious after substitution

Marcus Thuram left the field furious after being substituted. Not for the change, but for missing the 3-0 goal attempt with a chip shot that failed, sending the ball high. 

The first to console him was Di Gregorio, while, as Prime Video repeats, he keeps saying, "I should have scored."

😤 The usual Osimhen. The striker vs Sanchez

Prime Video reports the usual tensions with Victor Osimhen and his teammates.

Both before and after Juve's 2-0, the striker was upset with Sanchez, whom he accused of being too inaccurate. Several players had to intervene to separate them.

😲 Juve doubles, 2-0 by Gatti

Juventus continues to attack even with one man down and is rewarded with the 2-0, which reignites the Stadium's enthusiasm.

Zhegrova, who came on along with Boga to add quality on the wings, finds the internal pass for Kalulu from a corner. His low cross is deflected by Cakir but ends up at Gatti's feet, who scores 2-0 into an empty net.

🟥 Juve down to 10, Kelly sent off. Calvarese: "No intent to foul"

At the 47th minute, Juventus finds itself with 10 men due to Lloyd Kelly's second yellow card, who, already booked, hits Yilmaz with a rather high stomp after an aerial duel.

The referee is called to the VAR to issue a direct red and decides to change his decision. According to Gianpaolo Calvarese, even the yellow was wrong, as "there was no intent to foul." The comeback is compromised for the Bianconeri team.

Furious Lloyd Kelly, who kicks the wall and door as he exits the field, and incredulous Luciano Spalletti, who just can't explain such a decision.

😱 DISASTER David, 2-0 wasted

The last action of the first half causes many regrets for the Bianconeri. Yildiz reaches the end line inside the area and passes to David, who from a few meters fails to coordinate for a shot and awkwardly hits the ball, sending it back for Thuram's shot from the edge, which goes wide.

Juventus penalty, Locatelli scores. Calvarese: "Torreira deserved a 🟥"

At the 35th minute, Juve earns a penalty for a foul by Torreira on Thuram. A bad ball lost by Sanchez, Koopmeiners escapes down the left flank and finds David in the center, who sets up the French midfielder who is brought down. The referee does not issue a second yellow card, but according to Gianpaolo Calvarese, there were grounds to send off the Uruguayan.

Manuel Locatelli steps up to the spot, ruthlessly sending Cakir the wrong way. Third goal of the season for the captain, who starts the Bianconeri's comeback.

😬 Yildiz close to scoring, Cakir responds

At the 30th minute, Yildiz gets even closer to the lead after a great personal action. 

A sharp dribble on the first opponent and a right-footed shot to the far post, which is deflected to the near post by Sanchez, catching Cakir off guard. The goalkeeper manages to deflect it to a corner with a reflex.

🧨 Double chance Locatelli-Conceicao

At the 22nd minute, two more dangerous shots come from a pressing Juventus, who take corner kicks in succession and pin the opponents in the last 30 meters.

From the first corner development, Locatelli's shot from outside is deflected to a corner by Cakir. On the next one, Conceicao curls a shot inside the area without excessive pressure but misses the target.

💥 Gatti-Osimhen clash

Even in terms of tension, the match is immediately heated. Verbal clash between Gatti and Osimhen at the 9th minute, with the two exchanging harsh words.

The referee takes time to calm the Nigerian striker's fury but decides not to issue any cards.

🔥 Aggressive start, Gatti close to scoring

Juventus starts vehemently, also fueled by an Allianz Stadium that seems to believe in the comeback.

The first chance comes after 3 minutes to Gatti, who jumps quite freely but fails to direct Yildiz's very strong cross towards the goal.

❗️ Chiellini: "Just a spark, the fans are with us"

Giorgio Chiellini, Director of Football Strategy at Juventus, motivated the pre-match.

"Today is a match where balance is needed above all. The atmosphere at the stadium is electric, it would take, it will take little to bring out something extra from the fans, then it's up to the performances. There were boos in the match against Como, but this crowd is here with us.

It's a difficult, prohibitive, almost impossible match, it would be a feat, all things you've said many times, these matches often change due to momentum, change due to a spark, change with little, it's up to us to stay in the game and try to find them.

I expect something special, the players have it. The goal is to score a goal, it can even be at the end. We need to achieve something that will lead you to overturn the match. While after the match there's disappointment from the defeat, in these days we need to find the excitement for the comeback, which they will remember for decades. I hope they can also carry this joy for having overturned the first leg."

💪🏻 Spalletti: "We need something uncommon. McKennie's role..."

Before the match against Galatasaray, Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti spoke to Prime Video.

"These are the feelings of great evenings, of uncommon, unusual matches. It's clear that feats like the one needed in the evening of this match are built through the quality of the entire team, not behind a single player's play, behind a behavior of balance, behind a knowledge of what will be the behavior within the phases of the match's development.

According to us, McKennie expresses himself better than anyone by leaving him a bit free behind the forward to act in the spaces he wants, but tonight we have needs, because they have very strong wingers in one-on-one situations, and we have absences that led us to choose the best available players by putting him in that role."
