Dani Olmo was denied by a fine Urgakan Cakir save after being played through by Pedri, while Lamine Yamal fired over as the visitors looked to make their early pressure count.Galatasaray gradually disrupted Barcas rhythm with an aggressive press, but the visitors continued to threaten in behind. Anthony Gordon forced another good save from Cakir in the 17th minute, before Olmo narrowly missed Yamals dangerous cross as Barcelona searched for the opener.Against the run of play, Galatasaray struck in the 28th minute through Batrakov and a nice assist from Rafael Leao, sending the home crowd into a frenzy. Burak Yilmaz then doubled the hosts lead in the 34th minute, leaving Barcelona stunned after a spell in which they had looked the more dangerous side, but the goal was ruled out by VAR in a let-off for the visitors.The visitors made the reprieve count when Cancelo equalised in the 43rd minute, the full-back being in space on the left before he opened his body and found the far corner.Fast start secures Barca winAfter a crucial goal just before the break, Barca scored another to take the lead shortly after it as Fermin snuck in and headed into the back of the net from a wonderful Yamal assist.Barca were in control moments later in what was a superb start to the second half, with more fine work from Yamal presenting Gordon with the chance to fire in at the near post.The Barca onslaught did not stop as Adeyemi got in on the act, as Gabriel Jesus flicked the ball on to the Germany international who fired a clinical shot past Cakir.Champions League table UEFA Champions League 2026 World #TeamPlayedWonDrawnLostGFGAGDPtsLast 2 1 Sporting CP22005146 W W 2 Paris Saint Germain11006153 W 3 Bayern Mnchen11005053 D 4 Barcelona11005143 W 5 Manchester United11004043 L 6 Como11004133 W 7 VfB Stuttgart11003123 W 8 Manchester City11002023 W 9 Aston Villa11003213 W 10 Real Betis11003213 W 11 Borussia Dortmund11003213 W 12 Liverpool11002113 W 13 Real Madrid11002113 W 14 Arsenal11001013 W 15 AEK Athens FC11001013 W 16 Lens210134-13 L W 17 Sabah FA210124-23 W L 18 AS Roma10101101 D 19 Shakhtar Donetsk10101101 D 20 PSV Eindhoven10101101 L 21 Fenerbahe10101101 D 22 Villarreal100123-10 W 23 Lille100123-10 L 24 Club Brugge KV100123-10 W 25 Inter100112-10 L 26 Atletico Madrid100112-10 W 27 Napoli100101-10 L 28 Lask Linz100101-10 L 29 Viking100113-20 D 30 Galatasaray100113-20 L 31 FC Porto100102-20 L 32 Slavia Praha200225-30 L L 33 RB Leipzig100114-30 W 34 Feyenoord100115-40 L 35 Slovan Bratislava100116-50 L 36 Bodo/Glimt100105-50 L Position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 : Promotion Champions League (Play Offs: 1/8-finals) Position 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 : Promotion Champions League (Play Offs: 1/16-finals) Upcoming Champions League fixtures for Galatasaray Upcoming Fixtures : Galatasaray UEFA Champions League Lille LIL 17:45 2026-10-21 Galatasaray GAL UEFA Champions League Galatasaray GAL 17:45 2026-11-03 VfB Stuttgart STU UEFA Champions League Galatasaray GAL 17:45 2026-11-24 Aston Villa AST UEFA Champions League AEK Athens FC AEK 20:00 2026-12-08 Galatasaray GAL UEFA Champions League Galatasaray GAL 17:45 2027-01-19 Feyenoord FEY UEFA Champions League Paris Saint Germain PSG 20:00 2027-01-27 Galatasaray GAL Upcoming fixtures for Barcelona Upcoming Fixtures : Barcelona La Liga Real Betis BET 17:30 2026-10-17 Barcelona BAR UEFA Champions League Paris Saint Germain PSG 20:00 2026-10-20 Barcelona BAR La Liga Barcelona BAR 16:00 2026-10-25 Real Madrid REA La Liga Barcelona BAR 16:00 2026-11-01 Alaves ALA UEFA Champions League Barcelona BAR 20:00 2026-11-03 Aston Villa AST La Liga Atletico Madrid ATM 16:00 2026-11-08 Barcelona BAR La Liga Barcelona BAR 16:00 2026-11-22 Villarreal VIL UEFA Champions League Sabah FA 17:45 2026-11-25 Barcelona BAR La Liga Deportivo La Coruna COR 16:00 2026-11-29 Barcelona BAR La Liga Barcelona BAR 16:00 2026-12-06 Celta Vigo CEL Topics FC Barcelona Galatasaray S.K.
