Galatasaray Team News

We last saw the Turkish champion in the Champions League a long time ago. This team has returned, having strengthened significantly compared to last season. Galatasaray has come a long way to enter the elite European competition.

First, they defeated Žalgiris in two matches with a total score of 3:2. A double game against the Slovenian Olimpija followed. Galatasaray did not concede a single goal in these games and scored four. Molde met them in the last round of qualification. It turned out to be a formidable opponent for the Turkish team. In the first match, they barely beat them away 3:2. It was easier in the second leg, and Galatasaray won 2:1.

In the domestic competition, Galatasaray played four games, winning three while drawing one. He won the most convincing victory against Gaziantep 3:0, while in the match against Samsunspor, he scored four goals and conceded two.

This season, as well as last season, Galatasaray plays extremely attacking football. Still, the question is how well-organized their defense is because they can score goals from fairly innocuous situations.

Ok now beam me up into Wednesday please. #UCL

Copenhagen Team News

Copenhagen had a somewhat difficult path to the Champions League this season. First, they convincingly beat Breidablik with a total score of 8:3. A double match against Sparta from Prague followed. In the first game, they played without goals. Both teams scored three goals in the second leg, and Copenhagen advanced after the penalty shootout. In the match against Rakow Czestochowa, Copenhagen won away 0:1, and then they played 1:1 at home.

Everything is not going smoothly for Copenhagen in the domestic Superliga. They played eight games, but in the last three, something was not right. First, Silkeborg beat them at home 3:1. A victory against Viborg followed, and last weekend, they won a draw against Nordsjaeland. At the end of that match, it was 2:2.

It is clear that manager Jacob Neestrup is keeping some cards for the Champions League, which may be why their form dip at home. However, this team needs a better result in the elite European competition. Last season, their rivals were Manchester City, Dortmund and Sevilla.

They did not win once in six games and scored only three goals against 12 they conceded.
