Juventus captain Manuel Locatelli felt like crying after seeing his team's remarkable Champions League fightback fall just short against Galatasaray on Wednesday. Trailing 5-2 after the first leg, Juventus went 3-0 up in the return match - despite playing almost the entire second half with 10 men following Lloyd Kelly's sending-off - to take the game to extra time.

Galatasaray scored twice in extra time to lose 3-2 on the night but win 7-5 on aggregate. Juventus fans applauded their team after the match despite getting eliminated. "It almost makes me want to cry for how much we believed," Locatelli said.
