"Tuesday's trip to Istanbul only deepened their troubles. Despite a positive first half in their Champions League playoff, where Teun Koopmeiners struck twice to give Juve a 2-1 lead, the evening unraveled spectacularly. Galatasaray overwhelmed the Bianconeri in a one‑sided second half, storming to a 5-2 victory. Substitute Juan Cabal compounded the misery by picking up a red card, while Napoli loanee Noa Lang netted twice to seal the hosts' dominance."
"That bruising defeat ended Juventus' five‑match unbeaten run in Europe under Luciano Spalletti, a sequence that included three consecutive clean sheets. It also came just days after a painful Derby d'Italia loss. Despite going down to 10 men at San Siro following Pierre Kalulu's contentious dismissal, Juventus fought back bravely but still succumbed 3-2 to Inter. Now one point behind fourth‑placed Roma-whom they face next week-Juve must respond quickly."
Juventus host Como in a crucial Serie A match with Champions League qualification implications; the sides sit one place apart and Juventus lead by four points. Juventus arrived with confidence dented after a 5-2 loss in Istanbul despite a 2-1 halftime lead courtesy of Teun Koopmeiners. The defeat ended a five‑match unbeaten European run and followed a 3-2 Derby d'Italia loss to Inter. Defensive troubles have intensified: Bremer suffered a thigh issue, Pierre Kalulu is suspended, Emil Holm is unavailable, and Jonathan David faces a groin problem. Juventus remain unbeaten at home in Serie A nearly a year.
