| Karim Benzema has scored eight and created six goals in his last 14 Champions League appearances but the Spanish side have now only kept two clean sheets in their last 14 Champions League away matches. |
The Italian visitors controlled the match but conceded for the first time this season when Turan stabbed in from Juanfran Torres's cross.
Malmo's 2-0 win over Olympiakos means that all four teams in the group are now on three points.
Former Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa set up two goals as Borussia Dortmund secured a 3-0 win at Anderlecht to move on to six points from their two matches in Group D. Kagawa fed Ciro Immobile to give the visitors the lead.
Adrian Ramos finished from Lukasz Piszczek's pass to put the visitors 2-0 up before Kagawa laid on a second goal for Ramos to make it three.
Arsenal eased to a 4-1 win in Group D's other match thanks to a Danny Welbeck hat-trick.
Zenit St Petersburg and Monaco remain level on four points at the top of Group C following their goalless draw.
In the other game in that group, Stefan Kiessling, Son Heung-min and Hakan Calhanoglu were on target for Bayer Leverkusen's 3-1 win over Benfica. Eduardo Salvio pulled one back for the Portuguese side.
