I agree with you, Galatasaray is in the UEFA Europa League better than the Turkish league.
Yes, I think Barcelona will win tonight, but I don't want to say for sure. Because there are Galatasaray fans and they will create great pressure on Barcelona.

Better does not mean they will win Barcelona in the second leg. It is more risk for Barcelona when they have to play in Istanbul but they are still a stronger team. Barcelona still have greater opportunity to win but Galatasaray do have support from their home stadium and a draw in first leg gives them belief in themselves they they can do better than a draw.
If they can win in the second leg, they will win in aggregated result that is enough. They just need to win minimally but Barcelona will not let Galatasaray get it too easily

Have you seen Galatasaray's performance in the Super Lig? If you see their gameplay in this season, then you wouldn't call the team strong. Galatasaray are now 11th in the Super Lig. Their defense is very weak this season. They have conceded 42 goals in 29 matches. They will easily win if they play with some aggressive tactics of Barcelona. And Barcelona will score at least 2 more goals.

Galatasaray performance in europe league was better than in Turkish league even they were unbeatable so far even Barcelona cannot scoring goals at Camp Nou while against them and admitted or not Galatasaray defence was very good and on my prediction Barcelona will dominated the game but they have to be aware of the counterattack from Galatasaray which is very dangerous and regarding the score i think Barcelona will win but probably with slim score

Barcelona seem to be in trouble because they drew with Galatasaray at home and will have to play away in Turkey today. For some reason I have no doubt that Barcelona will win, but looking from yesterday's game between Juventus and Villarreal, anything can happen today.

Barcelona is indeed still the favorite to qualify for the next round when they travel to Galatasaray headquarters, anything can happen in the world of football before the referee blows the whistle signaling the end of the match, in the match that will be held later at Galatasaray headquarters it will certainly be interesting where Barcelona are held to a draw at Camp Nou, but if the cows still field the same player material as in the first leg then it is in the impossibility that there will be a surprise from the hosts Galatasaray

There is way to much difference in quality between the two teams.I also think Barcelona will have an easy win tonight in Turkey just because of the quality they have compared to Galatasaray.I know how great the Turkish fans and the atmosphere in the stadium is but I am afraid that will not be enough to stop Barcelona from winning and going further.Barcelona started the season really badly and is now in fight in the top places in La Liga and sure they will want to add up to their performance something more,kinda like trying to win Europa League,they have all the possibilities to do so if they commit to it.

It is a matchday! We are going to have the rematches today. And the most interesting rematch to me is Galatasaray - Barcelona now. Because the first leg ended up with a 0-0 draw in Camp Nou. It was beyond the expectations from that game. But I still believe that Barcelona will make up for that result by finishing them off. They did the exact same thing to Napoli before this round. And I don't think that Galatasaray will play better than Napoli in the second leg. But I hope to see a competitive game also. Otherwise, it'd be boring to watch.

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

this match will be played at home to Galatasaray, I think there is still a chance for them to go through and beat Barcelona. Galatasaray are eyeing a draw in the 1st leg and of course they are waiting for the moment to play at home with the same capital. In this match anything can still happen, I think both teams have a 50-50 chance to qualify for the next round.

Regarding the match between Galatasaray v Barcelona, I hope it will end like Bayern Munich v Salzburg in the previous UCL. Galatasaray have just won in the local league against Besiktas and that seems like something of an improvement for Galatasaray themselves, considering Galatasaray had previously been terrible in the local league and even Galatasaray almost fell deeper into the relegation zone. But after Galatasaray played away and managed to draw Barcelona and then won against Besiktas in the local league, it made Barcelona really not underestimate Galatasaray because in this second leg Barcelona played away. Maybe it will be a tough job, but considering the quality of the players and other things of course Barcelona still have a chance to win but we don't know if Galatasaray will still give a surprise here to get rid of Barcelona. No one knows for sure about it, it's interesting to see how their gameplay will be and what the final result will be.

it is very possible for Barcelona to be able to win this Leg 2 match. In the first leg which was played at Camp Nou, actually Barcelona had played very well, even they carried out a dangerous attack, but the Galatasaray defense played so well that it was difficult for Barcelona players to penetrate.
in this 2nd leg which will be played at home to Galatasaray it is very possible for Galatasaray to play more attacking and that will open up space for Barcelona to take advantage of it. I think there will be a lot of goals to be scored in this game and I think Barcelona will be able to win it. it would probably be an easy bet to pick Barcelona to win.

I'm also one of the people who really appreciate Galatasaray's solid resistance against Barcelona in the first leg of the matchup. But I think that this is still going to be end of the road for Galatasaray in this round. Barcelona are having a great time period nowadays. Maybe their main goal is to achieve the best success they can in the La Liga now. But I don't think that they will give up on the Europa League too. They wouldn't say no to achieving one title at least in this season. So I believe they will eliminate Galatasaray here first.

If I were to be Barcelona my major focuse would be to win the Europa League. It is important to them to win the Europa League this will increase their profile again in laliga and Europe at large.
In the laliga Barcelona has done their best and they are in the top four which many people did not believe will happen but it has happened.
Another concern for Barcelona is the team they will have to face after winning Galatasaray because I know that they will win Galatasaray and qualify for next round.

Reaching the European League Champion trophy can be a shortcut for Barcelona to penetrate the Champions League next season, indeed they are currently still in the top 4 leagues as the champions league zone boundary, but I don't think there is anything wrong with Barcelona if they make the European league trophy as their go the main target and just ?in case they are eliminated from the top 4 competition in la Liga later, besides that the Europa League trophy can be proof for Xavi that he is a young coach to be reckoned with in European competition.
The draw in the 1st leg is a loss for Barcelona, ??but if Xavi can use a different tactic against Galatasaray at Galatasaray sk, I think Barcelona will be able to beat Galatasaray in the match.

Yes, I also think that it is a great opportunity for Barcelona to have a chance to have one more trophy, the Europa League is a tournament that would give Xavi more credit, especially, Barcelona for me still lacks a lot, if we take into account He says that what raises the level of Barcelona the most is the Spanish League and the UCL, it lacks a lot of level to reach its always contender by nature, which is Real Madrid, and if Real Madrid joins the Frenchman Mbappé, it will be much more difficult for Barcelona to get to him, if nothing else in the UCL only Benzema destroyed a whole team of stars who are the most named players in the world, I think that Barcelona has to have more entrenched the fact that they have to win more than Europe League, of course this is just my thoughts.

Xavi Hernandez has really done well I must say again,Is not an easy task,let's not forget that Ronald koeman was sack this season before xavi was employed,and he has not coach any club in Europe before he was signed by Barcelona,he was at Qater and just got his coaching badge less than two years before coming to Barcelona,and now look how he has transformed the club,this man is truly a legend, he did so well as a player now he is starting to follow same path as a coach just like Zidane did at Real Madrid, my advice to him is to take the Europa League more seriously because is an opportunity to still win a trophy after a very poor start of the season

Xavi is a man I will respect because of his transformation of Barca,a team that was no where,a team that looked so finished under their former coach,he is a real gem and with this that he has shown,I think he is going to be one of the best coaches in time to come.He has the experience as a football legend,and I think with that alone,he can coach any team,and that is exactly what he has shown. Yes,there is a chance for him to play and win the Europa league,couple with the fact that he will be in the champions league next season is a hint that the manager has done well already,and still doing well.

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.

Barcelona's appearance in La Liga is getting more consistent, they managed to get 4 wins in a row and make Barcelona currently in third position. But because the distance between Barcelona and Real Madrid is too far, it seems unlikely that Barcelona will compete for the La Liga trophy this season. So the Europa League must be Barcelona's main focus right now, because Barcelona's chances are still very high to win the Europa
League trophy. Although the results of the first leg were not very impressive, because Barcelona failed to win. But I'm very optimistic in the second leg Barcelona will win, moreover, the quality of the players that Galatasaray has is very far from Barcelona. So Barcelona should be able to take advantage of the quality of the players it has to be able to win in the second leg. And I believe Xavi already has his own strategy to beat Galatasaray in the second leg, Xavi must have learned the mistakes made by Barcelona players in the first leg. So I predict Barcelona will win in the second leg, even if they have to play away.

These type of unexpected results could happen at any given minute. I mean just because they are getting better, and just because they have been winning games in la liga doesn't mean that they will never lose another single game until the end of the season. That could also happen, but it is not guaranteed at all. They may lose this game, they may lose in la liga next week, anything could happen.

This doesn't make them bad neither, it just makes them a normal team, everyone has losses. I still believe that they will win this one though, it should not really be that weird and they will probably end up winning this one for sure. They are just too good to lose this one.

Barcelona played really well in their last match against Osasuna and they have certainly improved a lot under the authority of Xavi. Barcelona really seems to be set to end the season Being in the top three, they have a match in hand and I expect them to get points from that match and if they don't drop points otherwise they should be good, and stay ahead of Atletico Madrid in the league.

In the Europa League, I think they are going to win against Galatasaray tomorrow. even though they have drawn the first leg they are going to be aggressive and go for the win in the second leg.

At the moment, the odds of bookmakers for this game are as follows:

8,40 - 5,40 - 1,36

As good as Barcelona looked against Osasuna, I think odds of 1.36 are too low to risk. In addition to seeing a second unexpected result in this pair, Barcelona could for example draw in regular time and win in extra time. In this case, the bet on the victory of Barcelona will still burn out.
