Juve, reduced to 10 men, still rallied to level the tie at 5-5 before Galatasaray won 7-5 on aggregate after extra time, with Kelly’s suspension carrying into next season.

Dalot's challenge sparks debate on European red-card thresholds

Officials including Jarred Gillett and Howard Webb defend the yellow as consistent, arguing the contact was glancing rather than forceful, and highlighting the ongoing dynamics between referees and VAR. It also nods to past controversies, like Curtis Jones’ red in 2023, that fuel fan debate over refereeing decisions.
