Juventus 3-2 Galatasaray player ratings<\/h2>

Perin 6.5 \u2013<\/strong> Not too busy during the match, but still made a couple of decent saves.<\/p>

Kalulu 8 \u2013<\/strong> Provided the assist for Gatti\u2019s goal, the second one for Juve, and was superb defensively (108\u2032 Openda N\/A<\/strong>).<\/p>

Gatti 7 \u2013<\/strong> Gave Juventus hope with the second goal of the night, but was slightly out of position when Osimhen scored the decisive goal for Galatasaray.<\/p>

Kelly 4 \u2013<\/strong> Forget the red card<\/a>. The Englishman had had a bad game already, both defensively and in the build-up.<\/p>

McKennie 9 \u2013<\/strong> Honestly, I\u2019ve never seen a footballer play as a left-back, left winger and centre forward in the same match. The USMNT star did so and with incredible quality, too. He scored the third goal and provided the assist for Zhegrova, but the Kosovo international miserably failed all alone in front of the goalkeeper.<\/p>

Koopmeiners 6.5 \u2013<\/strong> A great performance, first in midfield and then in defence, after Kelly was sent off. The Dutchman provided the assist for McKennie, but was sloppy in the build-up to Osimhen\u2019s goal.<\/p>

Locatelli 8 \u2013<\/strong> Another big performance for the Italian midfielder, who recovered possession 13 times (via Sofascore<\/a>), won 11 duels and had 85% passing accuracy (108\u2032 Kostic N\/A<\/strong>)<\/p>

K Thuram 7 \u2013<\/strong> Subbed off after missing a goal all alone in front of the goalkeeper. It would have been the 3-0 that McKennie scored just a few minutes later. Thuram wouldn\u2019t know, and he was in tears when he arrived on the bench. Aside from that, he put in a solid performance with four recoveries and four duels won.\u00a0 (77\u2032 Adzic 5.5<\/strong>)<\/p>

Conceicao 6.5 \u2013<\/strong> His dribbling and pace caught the eye, as usual, but he still lacked the final touch, which is not a detail. (68\u2032 Zhegrova 4.5 \u2013<\/strong> He missed a huge, huge chance that could have won the game for Juve. Truly incredible.)<\/p>

David 5 \u2013<\/strong> No presence inside the box and a big chance missed right before the break. The substitution felt inevitable. (68\u2032 Boga 5<\/strong>).<\/p>

Yildiz 7 \u2013<\/strong> No goals or assists, but he turned on the light every time he had the ball. Unlucky not to score in the first half. He ended the game limping, but played over 100 minutes. Heroic. (110\u2032 Miretti N\/A<\/strong>)<\/p>

Coach: Spalletti 8 \u2013<\/strong> He transformed Juventus after four defeats in the last five games. They put on the pitch all they hadn\u2019t shown against Como: desire, pride, determination and quality. Juventus were aggressive and took risks all over the pitch. The referee didn\u2019t help them, and the Bianconeri were eventually eliminated. It hurts, but Spalletti is surely proud of his players.<\/p>

Galatasaray:<\/strong> Cakir 7; Sallai 5 (59\u2032 Boey), Sanchez 6, Bardakci 5.5, Jakobs 4.5; Torreira 5 (103\u2032 Singo 6.5), Lemina 6.5 (87\u2032 Icardi 5.5); Alper Yilmaz 6, Gabriel Sara 5.5 (71\u2032 Gundogan 6), Lang 5.5 (59\u2032 San\u00e9 5); Osimhen 7.
