In the Champions League - an incredible football evening in Turin.

The "Juventus" team had a three-goal deficit after the first knockout match against the Istanbul club but managed to extend the match into extra time (3:0, aggregate 5:5).

However, during extra time, the Italians, playing with ten men, conceded two goals from their opponents and were forced to capitulate with an overall score of 5:7.

Juventus scored their first goal in the 37th minute when M. Locatelli converted a penalty.

In the 48th minute, the situation for the Italians became complicated as defender L. Kelly was sent off.

However, the Juventus players did not falter and in the 70th minute, F. Gatti and in the 82nd minute, W. McKennie got the fans in the arena to their feet (3:0).

During extra time, the miracles for the home team came to an end - in the 105+1 minute, V. Osimhen and in the 119th minute, B. Yilmaz reduced the score and paved the way for the Turks to the quarterfinals.
