CHAMPIONS LEAGUE : GALATASARAY VS LIVERPOOL – 30/09/2025 (PHOTO – VICTOR OSIMHEN)

GALATASARAY MADE 271 PASSES WITH A 67% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 3 CORNERS, AND 9 SHOTS, WITH 4 ON-TARGET IN THEIR MATCH AGAINST LIVERPOOL YESTERDAY, INCLUDING A STUNNING PENALTY FROM VICTOR OSIMHEN AT 16 MINS! (BELOW)

IT WAS A FEISTY MATCH, BUT NOT AS FEISTY AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN, WITH 5 YELLOW CARDS FOR GALATASARAY, AND 3 FOR LIVERPOOL, BUT NO RED CARDS.  

THE MAIN OPPOSITION CAME FROM THE EXTREMELY LOUD CROWD! THIS MATCH WAS CERTAINLY NO “TURKISH DELIGHT” FOR LIVERPOOL! EVERY TIME THAT THEY WERE ON THE BALL, THE GAZILLIONS OF GALATASARAY FANS WHISTLED SO LOUDLY THAT IT WAS DEAFENING, AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE LITTLE RASCALS HAD BEEN OUTSIDE THE LIVERPOOL PLAYERS HOTEL SETTING OFF FIREWORKS UNTIL THE EARLY HOURS, SO SOME OF THEM DID LOOK A BIT PEAKY!

NEVERTHELESS, LIVERPOOL MADE AN ENERGETIC 525 PASSES WITH AN 87% PASS ACCURACY, (HAD 67% POSSESSION), AND 16 SHOTS, WITH 4 ON-TARGET, BUT NOTHING DOING ON THE GOAL FRONT!

SO, THE MATCH CULMINATED IN A 1 – 0 WIN TO GALATASARAY, AND, NO DOUBT, SOME VERY UNDERSTANDING LIVERPOOL FANS ACCEPTING THAT A WIN UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES MUST BE NIGH-ON-IMPOSSIBLE!😒
