Antonio Conte’s team were held in their second straight European game, as Roberto Mancini’s tenure at the Turkish giants began in dramatic fashion.

Roberto Mancini enjoyed an impressive start to his Galatasaray career thanks to a 2-2 draw away to Juventus in the UEFA Champions League.

Didier Drogba put Galatasaray in front before late goals from Arturo Vidal and Fabio Quagliarella looked to have given Juventus all three points.

Umut Bulut’s dramatic leveller, though, ensured that Mancini’s tenure began with an encouraging performance and result in Turin.

Antonio Conte made the surprising decision to leave Fernando Llorente on the bench as Stephan Lichtsteiner, Andrea Pirlo and Mirko Vucinic all came into the starting XI.

Mancini was in the dugout against his boyhood club after joining Turkish giants Galatasaray on a three-year deal on Monday. The former Manchester City boss wasted no time in making changes, with six players coming into the first team, including Albert Riera and Felipe Melo.

Mancini went with a five-man midfield after Galatasaray lost 6-1 to Real Madrid in their first Group B match and it was causing plenty of problems for Juventus, who had to use the long ball to try and break through the organised visitors’ defence.

Drogba gave the visitors the lead in the 36th minute when a poor back pass from Leonardo Bonucci left Gianluigi Buffon stranded and the former Chelsea striker nipped in to place the ball into the back of an empty net.

On the stroke of half-time, Quagliarella could have scored when he found space at the near post but Fernando Muslera was alert to thwart the danger.

Juventus continued to struggle in the second half and Conte introduced Llorente as he looked to find a way back into the game.

Conte’s men got their reward in the 78th minute when Quagliarella was brought down by Nordin Amrabat and Vidal coolly stepped up before smashing the resulting penalty into the top corner to give Muslera no chance.

Galatasaray lost their momentum and the home side capitalised when Quagliarella got on the end of a perfectly-weighted Pirlo cross to head home in the 87th minute.

With the home crowd still celebrating Quagliarella’s goal, Galatasaray struck back immediately and pulled a goal back from the kick off.

Drogba’s flick on was met by Bulut who got enough power on his shot to guide it past Buffon in the Juventus goal.

Carlos Tevez and Llorente went close late on for the Serie A champions, but they failed to deny Mancini a dream start.

Danny Welbeck had opened the scoring for the Red Devils but a second-half equaliser denied the Scot his second Champions League victory in as many games.

Ryan Giggs made history by breaking the Uefa Champions League appearance record after coming on to replace Marouane Fellaini.

But Danny Welbeck was the initial hero as he gave United the lead in the 18th minute before Taison equalised with 14 minutes remaining – but the game was more notable for Giggs’ landmark appearance.

The Welshman replaced Fellaini in the 66th minute to take him to 145 appearances in the competition, one more than Raul.

Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu made two changes from Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Metalurh Donetsk, Olexandr Kucher and Luiz Adriano coming in for Sergey Krivtsov and Facundo Ferreyra.

Lucescu had stated before the game that he felt David Moyes was struggling because he had not yet found his best starting XI and, again, the United manager made wholesale changes from the home defeat against West Brom at the weekend.

Only goalkeeper David de Gea and Michael Carrick kept their place from Saturday, with Wayne Rooney missing out altogether with a shin injury picked up in training the day before.

After a quiet opening, Robin van Persie had the first sight of goal in the eighth minute, bringing down Tom Cleverley’s pass before firing high and wide from 20 yards.

There was little further goalmouth action until the visitors took the lead in the 18th minute when Fellaini drove to the byline before cutting the ball back in search of Welbeck.

Yaroslav Rakitskiy was in position to intercept a pass but the defender slipped as he stuck out a leg, allowing the ball to run for Welbeck to sweep beyond Andriy Pyatov from six yards.

The home side were struggling to create anything going forward and did not manage an effort on target until the 39th minute when Alex Teixeira’s weak shot from the edge of the box was straight at De Gea.

The second half followed a similar pattern to that of the first, Rakitskiy’s wayward free-kick from 35 yards in the 50th minute representing Shakhtar’s only notable effort of the opening exchanges.

Van Persie had a rare sight of goal in the 71st minute, turning on the ball inside the area before seeing his low effort blocked by the covering Rakitskiy.

But five minutes later, the hosts equalised out of nothing.

Rakitskiy broke down the left and although Nemanja Vidic intercepted his cut back, the ball fell perfectly for Taison to smash the ball beyond De Gea from 10 yards.

And Taison then came close to a winner five minutes from time as his deflected drive was tipped over brilliantly by the alert De Gea at his near post.

The result sees both teams move to four points from two games in Group A, although Moyes may be disappointed that his side could not see out a game in which they held the lead.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic bagged a brace as Paris St Germain made it two wins from as many Champions League Group C matches after easing to a 3-0 victory against Benfica.

The French giants scored all three goals inside the opening half an hour with Ibrahimovic’s double sandwiched in-between young defender Marquinhos’ close-range strike.
From then on, the home side seemed to take their foot off the gas, but it hardly mattered as they followed up their opening 4-1 triumph at Olympiacos with another comprehensive win at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
There will be bigger tests to come for PSG, but they proved they will be a force both home and abroad this season as they moved to the top of their group.
They made the ideal start, with Ibrahimovic finishing a flowing move in the fifth minute.
Gregory Van Der Wiel ran onto the ball in the right side of the penalty area before sliding to Ibrahimovic at the back post and the Swede tapped into an empty net.
Brazilian defender Luisao should have done better than direct a weak header at PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu immediately after.
It proved a crucial miss as Laurent Blanc’s men doubled their lead after 25 minutes through Marquinhos.
Benfica failed to clear their lines from a corner and some inspired touches helped Blaise Matuidi burst forward to the left touchline.
The French midfielder’s cross was deflected into the path of 19-year-old Marquinhos, who could not miss from very close range.
It was the Brazilian defender’s third goal in five games for PSG, having not managed one goal in 30 appearances for previous club Roma.
The game was all but over as a contest five minutes later when Ibrahimovic rose highest to head into the top corner from Thiago Motta’s corner.
It seemed a case of damage limitation for Benfica, who had been badly exposed at the back, with PSG’s attackers running rampant.
Their chances were limited to long-distance efforts although Sirigu was nearly at full stretch to keep out Ezequiel Garay’s 25-yard curling free-kick just after half-time.
It was not so much one-way traffic in the second half although there was a definite feeling PSG had taken the foot off the gas.
Sirigu remained impenetrable in the home goal, though, denying 66th-minute substitute Miralem Sulejmani’s shot across goal.
At the other end, Ibrahimovic should have had his hat-trick but could only strike over the bar on the follow-up after Benfica goalkeeper Artur had only managed to parry the influential Lucas Moura’s 25-yard drive.
Artur then had to be at his best after tipping away Van Der Wiel’s cross into the path of Edinson Cavani, who shot tamely at Benfica’s custodian with the goal seemingly at his mercy.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria each scored twice in an impressive 4-0 Champions League victory over FC Copenhagen that saw Real Madrid take control of Group B.

The Portugal forward grabbed a hat-trick in a 6-1 demolition of Galatasaray on the opening night and needed little persuading to add two more goals to his tally at the Santiago Bernabeu.
He gave the Primera Division club an early lead with a firm header but, after he doubled the advantage from a spellbinding Di Maria cross midway through the second half, his Argentinian team-mate arguably stole the show with a classy brace of his own to settle the tie.
Next up for Carlo Ancelotti’s men is a double-header with Juventus, who rallied to draw 2-2 with Galatasaray, while Stale Solbakken’s Copenhagen take on Gala looking to build on the single point they earned against the Italians two weeks ago.
There was no Gareth Bale in the line-up after the Welshman was ruled out with a thigh injury, but Real’s original wing wizards managed just fine on their own.
Marcelo was also a constant menace to the Danish side and inside six minutes he had fed Karim Benzema for a header that just darted wide.
Di Maria then picked out Ronaldo for a speculative effort before Nicolai Jorgensen blocked Marcelo’s left-footed drive.

Copenhagen could only resist for 21 minutes, though, with Ronaldo plundering the lead on his 100th appearance in European club competition.
Marcelo provided the cross for the Portuguese, who stooped to nod the ball beyond Johan Wiland.
The visitors had been firmly under the cosh but did enjoy two decent chances in the first half.
Yussef Toutouh managed to sneak through the Real backline to warm Iker Casillas’ hands on the half-hour mark and Jorgensen clattered the bar with a header five minutes before the break.
But the hosts reasserted their authority following the restart, Di Maria inspiring a smart stop from Wiland before Dani Carvajal screwed a right-footed effort just over.
When the hour mark ticked past, Wiland thought he had done enough to preserve the narrow deficit when he smothered Pepe’s header from Di Maria’s free-kick.
But it was a false dawn as Ronaldo arrived in the six-yard box to head home another goal.
This time the Copenhagen defence were caught cold when Di Maria managed to fire the ball across to his team-mate with his left boot in a spectacular display of improvised skill.
Perhaps they had been struck dumb by Di Maria’s wizardry, or maybe it was just a case of broken resolve, but the stricken Danish backline soon conceded a killer third.
Provider turned goalscorer in the 71st minute as Di Maria stole onto Karim Benzema’s pull-back from the left to dance into the D. He then left Wiland sprawling with a sublime finish into the far corner.
Madrid might normally have eased up at that point but their tails were up in front of a bouncing home crowd.
Di Maria was especially eager to match his Portuguese colleague’s achievement and did so one minute into stoppage time, switching his feet to guide the ball across the hapless Wiland with his favoured left boot from the edge of the area.
