Juventus-Galatasaray brings back memories/ From bitter elimination to

Juventus will face Galatasaray in the Champions League playoff stage, according to the draw made in Nyon.

The match brings back painful memories for the Bianconeri, linked to the 2013 elimination in Istanbul. Back then, a goal from Wesley Sneijder denied Juventus qualification to the next stage.

In terms of current sporting events, Luciano Spalletti will face two players with whom he has previous history. The first is Victor Osimhen, his former player at Napoli.

The story between Spalletti and Mauro Icardi is different. The pair worked together at Inter, but the relationship deteriorated significantly during the 2018/19 season, due to off-field situations related to the renewal of the Argentine striker's contract.

Public statements from the player's circle created tension in the black and blue environment, leading to the club and coach's decision to strip Icardi of the captaincy. This episode marked the end of the collaboration between the parties.
