Galatasaray 1-2 Barcelona

Galatasaray started the game very well against Barcelona at home with full spectators. But Barcelona did really well and Barcelona beat Galatasaray. Galatasaray's efforted a lot against a very big team like Barcelona but didn't enough. Maybe they just needed a little luck for pass the tour. I congratulate Galatasaray for their struggle. Barcelona is so big club and Barcelona is one of the favorites for me to win the title for Europa League.

I was expecting that Galatasaray will shock Barcelona in Turkey they even leaded 1-0 but such a team as Barcelona knows how to play this tricky matches and was able to snatch this big and really tough win for them. Barcelona is still the main favorite to win the Europe league.

I expected a comfortable win from Barcelona, but I can say that they won a difficult victory by winning 2-1. It was a risky score. If Galatasaray had caught the draw, maybe the match would have ended with a different score. Although Barcelona seem to be favourites, they have to do better against stronger teams. They won today but may lose another time.

We saw the progress of Barca after Winter transfer window. Every match they get better and better. New transfers fit the team perfect and Xavi is more relaxed now. In first leg they couldn't score but they made up in second leg. Even though they conceded first goal it was obvious that they turn the game over. Auba is in his best form now, he opened the beast mode in Barca. They are lucky to have him, who knew he adapt the team so well? I hope we see many more from him.

Barcelona managed to secure 1 ticket to the quarterfinals even though they fell behind after Marcao scored, but that the goal instead made Barcelona continue to increase the pressure in attack, Pedri and Aubameyang goals ensured Barcelona became one of the favorites to win the Europa League this year, I didn't expect an outcast Just as Aubameyang has now turned into one of the terrible strikers in Barcelona attack, seeing his pretty good performances with Barcelona this season, I hope Arteta doesn't regret giving Aubameyang to Barcelona for free.

It was already very difficult for Galatasaray to be victorious from this match. But after they scored the first goal, I believed, I thought they could beat Barcelona. However, after conceding the first goal, there were big problems in Galatasaray's offensive.
While they were trying to score with the counterattack, they started to attack normally and there were big gaps in the defense. Barcelona started to play more comfortably and as a result scored the second goal. Actually, Galatasaray also had good positions, but they couldn't score

I believe that Xavi has no other option but to prioritise winning the Europa cup, because if Barcelona falter and drop out of the top 4 then winning this cup guarantees them champions league football next season. Lastly Xavi has definitely turned this team around, but he’ll need more quality player’s next season and to attract them Barcelona needs to be playing in the champions league, hence it’s an obvious choice that he’ll target Europa cup over La Liga fixtures.

I agree, apart from all that, Xavi needs to prove to the fans, together with the team, that they are prepared to fight to the last. But who should be replaced in the Barcelona squad next season? Yes, there are already some ageing players, but I think next season's squad will be either unchanged or with minimal changes

In this last transfer window, Barceona has already made some good signings at zero cost. Daniel Alves, Aubameyang and Adama arrived at the club giving the expected result. There was also Ferran, who was hired for 55 million euros.
There's also Andreas Christensen, from Chelsea, and Kessie, from Milan, who are already sure to come to Barcelona at zero cost.

I believe that new opportunities will come, and Barcelona will rebuild its glory.

Yes, I believe so too, a great team that has been great all the way through cannot just stop being strong and also great at one point. I'll honestly only be happy if all these players not only come to the team, but also for free. The most important thing is for them to fit right in and for Xavi to find an approach to them

FC Barcelona has reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League. Anything else would have been surprising, so good that Barca made it. There was 0:1 behind, Bit still won because Aubameyang turned the game with his goal. In the second half, Barcelona was finally stronger. There should have score another goal, but it's okay like that. Barcelona is in the next round.

Olympique Lyonnais 1 - 1 FC Porto

Porto still has a chance to win the game, but it will be something much more difficult

Eintracht Frankfurt 0 - 0 Betis

Betis will not be able to move to another phase

West Ham 1 - 0 Sevilla

this game is still open, but i believe that west ham can win this game and move on to another phase

From these three matches, two are clearly going to end in next few minutes with Eintracht Frankfurt is having advantage of 2 - 1 in away match and Lyonnais is also having advantage of 1 - 0 in away match but look like we are going to have some extra time game in third match of this group with Sevilla is having 1 - 0 at their home match and now West Ham is also having 1 - 0 result with very few minutes to go in this match.

For me, if we go for extra time play then most chances West Ham will win and go through into next round because they are doing some better than Sevilla which is also struggling into La Liga after having very good time at second spot behind Real Madrid in all season now facing some problems and losing points regularly which is helping Barcelona for taking this spot from them.

Following Barcelona's good performance and dominance in today's game, I think Xavi should earn the respect of the Barca fans. He has improved the quality of the team with a good mentality and strategy to win games.

I absolutely have to agree with you on that, Xavi deserves an awful lot of credit for Barcelona's resurgence of late, if you take a look at the situation and position barca were before signing Xavi, then you will understand just how much credit should go Xavi's way, one thing i like most about what he did is the signings he made, he was able to get the sort of players Barca needs at the moment and right now they are delivering results for the team.

Having said that, i have to say Barcelona are contenders for the Europa league this season, i know it is definitely not the sort of trophy a team of their level would want to win, but with how things have gone for Barcelona in the last one year or so, i think they will take it, and hope to compete for the CL and laliga next season.

And as I predicted so it was, Barcelona has knocked out Turkish Giants Galatasaray, and are moving into the next round, Although they haven't gotten to the standard of Barcelona at it's very prime. But we must all agree they are giving it everything they have, there are more smiles on their faces and the team are enjoying their football now unlike the near past.
I really hope Barcelona lifts the Europa league, this would be a big deal to them and the fans.

And Barcelona finished their incomplete job by defeating Galatasaray with a score like 2-1 away. But I wouldn't like to indicate it in a way that they didn't have any difficulty. Of course, they had too much of it. Because Galatasaray showed even much better performance in this game. And they were more active as for attacking too. They were eager to advance as much as Barcelona. And their scoring first made me really excited about this draw. They would have made a big surprise really. But Barcelona still managed to win this and moved on.

this game is still open, but i believe that west ham can win this game and move on to another phase

There are still 30 minutes left I think there will be additional goals and Seville has a great chance for it it's just that the attack ends outside
For now the teams from La Liga are out of luck they run out of ways to get a place or indeed their opponents are too strong Cheesy

Only Barcelona left from LaLiga and Bundesliga dominate with 2 teams there of course Barcelona favorite.

I kind of expected more from Barcelona today following there recent performance in there domestic Laliga and somehow, they disappointed me, having a difficult time in making out the goals. The most important is the fact that they win and even got to win by a come back but, it wasn't so interesting for me after all. Anyway, Barca got to advance as expected and that's the most important.

But it's good they didn't disappoint their supporters today. Barca qualified for the next round after the first leg was held to a goalless draw at Camp Nou. Actually Galatasaray played well in the first half where they defended and attacked well when they got the ball, but Pedri's goal broke their concentration.

Following Barcelona's good performance and dominance in today's game, I think Xavi should earn the respect of the Barca fans. He has improved the quality of the team with a good mentality and strategy to win games. From my analysis, the strategy that Barcelona had today really made them superior in terms of quality and individuality in attack.

Sevilla were 1 goal behind West Ham in the first half, will Sevilla fail this season in the Europa League? but the aggregate is still 1-1.

Atalanta got to battle the Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen and managed it to make out a goal which is all they needed to go to the next round. Another game I think we could watch out for would be Sevilla Vs West Ham United and I don't see West Ham United having pretty much a good chance.

Barcelona is still reliable, today we see how Barcelona continues to fight despite being left behind at the start until their struggle is successful
I also watched the Atalanta match, yes it's a bit boring not much effort from both teams it's just that Atalanta were luckier to score in the last minute
I lost the bet both teams to score Leverkusen did not take advantage of the opportunity to play in front of their own fans.

I'm sure this match will not be boring, Barcelona will play an aggressive game and pass the round. All Turkey is waiting for this match, it will be a good match to watc

If Galatasaray is lucky, as in the first game, maybe they can even pass the round. Although I don't give a lot of chances statistically, Galatasaray's success against European teams this year is quite good Cheesy

People claim the game will be boring because they saw the first game and the game was unexpectedly close. Everyone assumed there would be a domination, a 5-0 type of game, they checked Galatasaray being bad in a turkish league and Barcelona getting superbly better in La liga and scoring 4 goals in 4 games, and assumed that Barcelona would be able to dominate. Since that failed, and the game ended with 0-0 and there were no goals (aside from gomis offside goal), it was a "boring" one. People never really liked defensive styles and always found it hard to watch, but I am sure that if they didn't like the first game, I doubt they will like the second one neither.

West ham team managed to score the first goal by the end of the first half this goal make it even in the overal score since they lost 1 0 in the first game in spain i think this goal will make the game better and sevilla team might try to score a goal to be safe and secure the qualification.

I actually did not understand why you expected much or more from Barcelona. All I expected them to do was to win the match even if with a half goal and they did it. You shouldn't have expected Barcelona to win by 5goals to nil when they have el classico to play over the weekend. The most important thing is that they proved they are back on track and we have believed them, I am waiting patiently for them to seal it on the 20th against the gaints of Spain - Real Madrid.

Barcelona have got past the Galatasaray obstacle nicely by winning the rematch, 2-1. But to be honest, it was not easy for sure. Galatasaray were surprisingly good once again after the game in Camp Nou. They were more effective about scoring too and they got ahead first. It was actually a temporary shock for Barcelona players but it didn't take them too long to answer the goal. And their winning goal came in the first minutes of the second half too which helped them a lot psychologically. Galatasaray tried their best to equalize it and have a second chance. But it didn't conclude nicely for them. I still loved their effort a lot against a very big team like Barcelona.
