Two goals in extra time by Baris Yilmaz and Victor Osimhen ended Juventus’ comeback and sent Galatasaray to the UEFA Champions League round of 16, with a 2-3 (6-5 aggregate).
Victor Osimhen scored his 7th goal in 8 Champions League games this season for Galatasaray in a 2-3 loss to Juventus.
Trailing 5-2 from the first leg, Juventus were looking for a fast start, and they got it early in the tie.
Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli started the recovery, stroking in a first-half penalty after Lucas Torreira had fouled Khephren Thuram.
Federico Gatti tapped in Pierre Kalulu’s 70th-minute cross to renew the old lady’s hope, and the Allianz Stadium erupted in joy when American midfielder McKennie restored parity (5-5) from close range.
English centre-back Lloyd Kelly had a second yellow card upgraded to a straight red in controversial circumstances after he caught Yilmaz on the back of the Achilles when landing following an aerial clash.
Osimhen Ends Juventus Comeback
In extra-time, Osimhen fired in a low effort from a Yilmaz pass, sending the visitors back ahead in the tie.
With a minute left, Yilmaz put the icing on a composed finish beyond goalkeeper Mattia Perin.
Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen emerged as the man of the match, his 4th for the 25/26 UCL season.
Consequently, Galatasaray will face either Liverpool or Tottenham in their first last-16 appearance in the UEFA Champions League since 2013-14.
