"We are exhausted and disappointed by this result, despite the performance. At the same time, we are very proud for the way we played. The feeling we must have is that this is a starting point to rediscover the spark that we've been lacking, as we go into the final weeks of the season."
"If we want to look at Spalletti's tenure, we got one and a half games wrong since he arrived. We haven't been very fortunate when it comes to the incidents, but we have to keep going. We need to keep faith in these players and this coach."
"There are 12 games to go this season, where there is a lot at stake. The team is ready, we saw that tonight, and the growth process continues even with a few slip-ups and obstacles in our path."
Juventus lost to Galatasaray 7-5 on aggregate in the Champions League play-off despite a remarkable second-leg comeback. Trailing 5-2 from the first leg, Juventus led 3-0 in Turin before Lloyd Kelly's red card shifted momentum. Goals from Locattelli, Gatti, and McKennie forced extra time, but Galatasaray scored twice to advance. Sporting director Chiellini defended coach Spalletti, stating the team showed quality performance and must maintain faith during the rebuilding process. With 12 Serie A matches remaining and Juventus sitting fifth, Chiellini emphasized this elimination serves as a starting point for rediscovering form and continuing the growth process under Spalletti's management.
