Galatasaray players criticized after Juventus loss
Three Galatasaray players faced criticism following their 3-2 Champions League playoff loss to Juventus. Former Beşiktaş forward Nihat Kahveci, on Kontraspor YouTube, criticized Leroy Sané's performance while highlighting İlkay Güdoğan and Yunus Akgün's underwhelming contributions. Sané and Güdoğan played, but Akgün did not feature in the match. Kahveci stated Galatasaray advanced due to the aggregate score but failed in performance, noting they were 'on the verge of defeat' and have injury return issues. Juventus played at full strength despite the scoreline.
