Recall that Galatasaray defeated the Serie A giants 5-2 in the first leg in Turkey last week. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1524595905268-5'); }); When asked if he believes there is a possibility of a comeback for Juventus against Galatasaray, Buffon told La Gazzetta: “I think that if Juventus had their full squad, they would have had a reason to believe in themselves and put up a fight in this match. “Because in my opinion, they could have won by two or three goals. But they’re coming from a defeat against Como, and they have some deficiencies in their squad. “There is another point that makes me doubt. Galatasaray scored five goals in the first match, and Osimhen didn’t score (laughing). Sooner or later… He already made two assists. These kinds of situations are one of the few things I believe in football. We are talking about a player who hasn’t scored in two matches.” Don't Miss UCL: Real Madrid will not allow Mourinho return to Bernabeu You may like UCL: Real Madrid will not allow Mourinho return to Bernabeu UCL Playoffs: Juventus must stop Osimhen – Kelly UCL playoffs: Osimhen to play with injection against Juventus in second leg – Yürekli UCL: Osimhen named in Galatasaray squad for Juventus rematch Galatasaray: Osimhen refused to play because of injury – Ibrahim Seten UCL Playoffs: Osimhen returns to training ahead Juventus vs Galatasaray
