Turkish Super League Champion Galatasaray will take on Real Madrid in this season's Champions League group stage.
Real Madrid along with Juventus, Kobenhavn were picked Thursday as Galatasaray's group rivals. Last year, Real Madrid reached the Champions League semifinals for the third straight season despite losing 2-3 at the hands of Galatasaray following a second-half resurgence by the Turkish team, reports Xinhua.
Madrid needed a double from Cristiano Ronaldo to advance 5-3 on aggregate but only after conceding three goals in a 16-minute span to raise Galatasaray's hopes of pulling off what would have been an epic comeback.
