Galatasaray thrash Juventus 5-2 in dramatic Champions League clash
Galatasaray delivered a stunning 5-2 victory over Juventus in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, securing a commanding advantage for the return leg in Turin. Victor Osimhen was instrumental despite not scoring, providing two key assists that disrupted Juventus' defence. The hosts took an early lead through Gabriel Sara's goal before Teun Koopmeiners equalized for the Italians. After the break, Noa Lang and Davinson Sánchez restored the lead, while Cabal's red card intensified the rout. Osimhen set up Lang's second goal and Sacha Boey completed the scoring. This result marks Juventus' first Champions League defeat under Luciano Spalletti and only the second time a team has scored five or more goals against them in European competition. With the return leg pending, Galatasaray carry renewed belief while Juventus face an uphill task to keep their European hopes alive.
