What Happened
Juventus is set to host Galatasaray at the Allianz Stadium on February 25, 2026, for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff round. The Italian side faces a daunting challenge, trailing by three goals after a 5-2 defeat in the first leg held in Istanbul. Juventus will be without suspended players Andrea Cambiaso and Juan Cabal, and center back Gleison Bremer’s participation is uncertain due to injury.
Why It Matters
This match is critical for Juventus, as they aim to keep their Champions League campaign alive. With Inter Milan’s recent exit from the tournament, Juventus could become the last Italian team remaining in the competition. The stakes are high, as a comeback is necessary to avoid elimination from European play.
What’s Next
Juventus enters the match as the favorite, with odds set at -200, while Galatasaray is priced at +425. The match will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network and available for streaming on Paramount+. Fans are eager to see if Juventus can overcome their significant deficit and restore pride at home, where they have an unbeaten streak of 21 matches.
