Juventus defender Federico Gatti, who scored the team's second goal, felt the team missed out on qualification last week. He said: "It's frustrating because we reached extra time and were a bit exhausted. We had already put the match back on the right track, but I'll say it again, we wasted the opportunity in the first leg. Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli felt like crying after his team's heroic attempt to come back in the UEFA Champions League against Galatasaray on Wednesday. Juventus had lost the first leg 2-5 and managed to take the lead in the second leg 3-0, although they played most of the second half with ten men after Lloyd Kelly's red card, forcing them to play two extra periods with Galatasaray. Galatasaray scored two goals in extra time, losing the second leg 2-3 but winning the aggregate score 7-5. Juventus fans applauded the team after the match despite the elimination, and Locatelli said: "It almost made me want to cry from the strength of faith we put in. A match like this cannot end this way".
