Galatasaray vs Barcelona: Preview
Galatasaray may start tonight's Champions League clash with Barcelona at the opposite end of the league phase table, but the Turkish side have a powerful weapon that will do everything in its power to roar them on to victory.
RAMS Park is known as one of the most intimidating environments for a visiting team in European football, which should help make up for the gap in quality to Hansi Flick's outstanding Barca team.
Galatasaray lost 3-1 at Sporting CP in their Champions League opener but they are a different proposition at home, winning four of their six matches here as they reached the round of 16.
Striker Victor Osimhen was key to that run but only recently returned from injury, so it remains to be seen if he is fit enough to start against Barca.

Galatasaray are aiming to become the first team to avoid defeat against Barcelona this season, after the Spanish giants beat Getafe 3-0 on Saturday to make it nine successive wins to start the campaign.
Hansi Flick's side thrashed Feyenoord 5-1 in their league phase opener to establish themselves as one of the favourites to win the competition and a victory here would cement that status.
Barca's Achilles heel in this competition of late has been their defence, having failed to claim a clean sheet in the Champions League since April 2025 - a run of 16 games.
That doesn't matter so much when you have a front three of Lamine Yamal, Anthony Gordon and Gabriel Jesus, with the latter expected to continue in place of the injured Raphinha, who has already scored 14 goals this season.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Galatasaray 1-2 Barcelona
Barca have the quality to overcome a hostile atmosphere and return home with three points.
