👉Juve needs a miracle
Mission (im)possible
Stadium, at 21: Galatasaray must overturn a 5-2 deficit

👉Atalanta (18:45) starts 0-2
Go for it, Goddess

All about Scamacca, the anti-Borussia Dortmund player

👉Inter, goodbye to the Champions League: Bodo wins at San Siro too
No excuses

Inter’s embarrassing performance
A predictable and unthreatening team
The Norwegians reach the round of 16
Chivu’s disappointment: “We were never competitive.”

👉Torino’s restart
Cairo launches D’Aversa
“The situation needs to be turned around.”

👉Capello: “Champions League odds are lower.”
Jashari next to Modric
Milan moved: the double playmaker

Front Page La Gazzetta dello Sport, Wednesday 25 February 2026

Today’s Front Page Corriere dello Sport, Wednesday 25 February 2026

👉Champions League, big disappointment: Bodo wins also in San Siro (1-2)
Inter disaster

No comeback
Chivu out in the playoffs: not a comeback

Akanji’s blunder: former AC Milan player Hauge strikes again.
The Swiss player gets the ball.
A futile siege.
Evjen doubles the lead
Bastoni closes the gap.
From two finals in three seasons to a resounding collapse.

👉Galatasaray is at the stadium (21)
Lucio for the feat: starting from 2-5
Juve, worth 15 million

Spalletti chasing the round of 16: “We’re asking the fans for help, it’s a difficult time for us.” Yildiz and Bremer are back
Osi: “Me, here in the future? Who knows.”

👉Atalanta-Borussia Dortmund (6.45pm)
Scamacca assault
Ederson surprise

👉Real Madrid-Benfica (21)
Mou’s silence shakes the Bernabeu

👉Derby with Monaco (21)
PSG, Hakimi shocks: accused of rape

👉Allegri, what numbers
Max changes direction at Milan

Only 2 points less than Pioli in the Scudetto year.
And Fullkurg is playing for his future in 12 games.

👉Napoli believes in it
Conte in 12 points: Champions League must be secured

Verona, Torino, Lecce, and Cagliari before the break to secure qualification. Hojlund is on the hunt for goals: he has only scored in five games so far.

Today’s Front Page Tutto Sport, Wednesday 25 February 2026

👉Torino, the President’s annoyances at D’Aversa’s presentation
Club, stadium, team
Cairo, now he’s cornered

“Sell? I’ve expressed my availability, but I haven’t received any offers. I’d like the Grande Torino, I’ll evaluate the price. The Museum? The Foundation’s fault. The B nightmare? All right, so many mistakes, I apologize to the fans.” A protest with manure at the Fila. The new coach adds: “Vlasic’s words? Everyone must behave like professionals: if someone doesn’t get there on their own, I’ll impose them.”

👉 Tonight against Galatasaray, three goals to come back from behind.
Remember, you’re Juventus.

Chasing a feat rarely achieved in history, reaching the round of 16. Spalletti launches a 4-3-3 formation with Weston McKennie at left back: “It’s a difficult time, but with the fans, we can do it.” A Kenan Yildiz-style contract is ready for Dusan Vlahovic.

👉Bodo also wins at San Siro: 2-1
Inter’s embarrassing performance
€20 million goes up in smoke

A glaring defensive error by Akanji paves the way for Hauge, who then provides the assist for the 2-0 lead. The comeback attempt ends with Bastoni’s goal. Receding from the Champions League before the round of 16 is a costly undertaking for the Nerazzurri.

👉And Osimhen calls
“Playing for Juve would be a privilege.”

👉We start with a 2-0 deficit against Dortmund
Bergamo pushes Atalanta

👉The results of a YouTrend survey
Fans criticize the referees
“And Inter are getting help.”

Stats BEFORE the game Juventus vs Galatasaray

Juventus has just one victory out of their seven UEFA Champions League encounters with Galatasaray. That is, D3 L3, which was a 2-1 win at home in September 2003.

The 5-2 loss Juventus faced at Galatasaray marked the second occasion they lost the first leg of a knockout stage match in a European tournament by a margin of three or more goals.  For instance, the first being against Real Madrid in the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals (0-3 in the first leg, 3-1 in the second leg).

Galatasaray has yet to achieve a win in 13 away games against Italian teams in major European competitions (D6 L7).   However, only one of their past results in these matches led to their elimination this time (the 0-5 loss to AC Milan in March 1963).

Galatasaray has progressed to the next round in all 11 of their knockout ties in European competitions.  On those occasions, after winning the first leg by a margin of at least three goals (including qualifying rounds).

Before this season, there had been 49 instances where a team lost the first leg of a UEFA Champions League knockout round by three or more goals. Furthermore, only four teams managed to advance to the next round: Deportivo de La Coruña (in 2003/04 against AC Milan), Barcelona (in 2016/17 against PSG), Roma (in 2017/18 against Barcelona), and Liverpool (in 2018/19 against Barcelona).
