Italian Mancini shot with theys own gun to Italians, Didier Drogba is still the most valuable player in Champions League.

Roberto Mancini guided Galatasaray to a 2-2 draw at Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday, just two days after taking over as coach at the Turkish club.

Substitute Fabio Quagliarella thought he had won it for Juventus with an 87th-minute header but Umut Bulut immediately equalized.

A blunder from Juve defender Leonardo Bonucci had gifted Didier Drogba the opener for Galatasaray in the 36th minute before Arturo Vidal leveled from the penalty spot after Quagliarella was adjudged to have been fouled by Nordin Amrabat.

Both teams had endured a disappointing start to their European campaigns and they started cautiously in Turin. Juventus had the first real opportunity in the 15th minute, but Paul Pogba slipped as he attempted an audacious overhead kick and missed the ball completely.

That seemed to spark the game into life and Drogba almost put Galatasaray in front four minutes later with a shot from a tight angle which Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon cleared with his foot.

A setback followed shortly afterward for Juventus when Mirko Vucinic beat the offside trap to race onto a delightful chipped pass by Andrea Pirlo, but stumbled and injured himself in the process.

Vucinic was replaced minutes later by Quagliarella, while Galatasaray defender Semih Kaya made way for Gokhan Zan.

Quagliarella had an opportunity with his first touch in the 28th minute as he prodded a cross narrowly past the left post. The Juventus forward was caught up in a tangle with Zan as he struck the ball but the referee rejected his furious claims for a penalty.

Galatasaray broke the deadlock when Bonucci woefully misplaced a back pass, giving it straight to Drogba, who easily bypassed the outrushing Buffon to slot into an empty net.

Juventus could have leveled quickly but Carlos Tevez’s fierce shot scraped the outside of the right post moments later.

And Galatasaray could have extended its lead when Wesley Sneijder was left completely unmarked and blazed well over the crossbar from just inside the area.

Arturo Vidal went close as he twice fired narrowly over the crossbar in quick succession.

Conte brought on Fernando Llorente for his Champions League debut and the Spaniard almost headed Juventus in front moments later but his effort also went just over the crossbar from close range.

Juventus did level in the 77th minute when Quagliarella made the most of a mistimed challenge from fellow substitute Amrabat and Vidal blasted home the spot kick.

Llorente had the ball in the back of the net in the 84th but it was ruled out as Tevez was offside in the buildup.

Juventus had come from behind to win two of its previous three league games and it looked like doing so again when Quagliarella headed home Pirlo’s cross from close range four minutes from time.

However, a Galatasaray counter attack led to an 88th-minute equalizer as Drogba took advantage of gaps in the Juventus defense to pick out an unmarked Bulut on the far side of goal.

Llorente missed a chance for Juventus in stoppage time when he toe-poked the ball wide of the right post.

“I’m disappointed,” Juventus coach Antonio Conte said. “But the most bitterness and regret comes from the second goal, because giving away a goal straight from the restart after we scored in the 87th is something quite unusual and strange. We drew a game which we really deserved to win.”

Conte described it as an “awful result.”

“We need to really, really fight. It will be a lot harder than last year, a lot, lot harder,” he said. “A hard path became so much harder because of two defensive mistakes. We shouldn’t despair, we have four games left, we have to grit our teeth. If we’re good we’ll get through.”
