Galatasaray holds the lead against FC Barcelona in the second round of the UEFA Champions League.
It’s a balanced contest taking place at the Ali Sam Yen sports complex in Istanbul. Galatasaray faces FC Barcelona, who remain undefeated across all competitions this season. Lamine Yamal and his teammates have attempted to exploit the wings to catch the Istanbul side off guard at home. However, the defensive unit has stood firm. In the 28th minute, Rafael Leão makes a run down the left flank and delivers a low cross. Aleksey Batrakov was positioned at the edge of the penalty area and strikes. His shot deflects off a Barcelona defender’s foot and deceives Joao Garcia.
Shortly after, Galatasaray again finds the back of the net. Yet, this goal is disallowed due to a foul in the Catalan penalty area.
