Before the break, Liverpool did not immediately show the defeat in the competition against Crystal Palace with good football. The English had a hard time in Turkey and fell behind thanks to Victor Osimhen. After fifteen minutes of playing, the giga purchase used a penalty – after a slightly offense from Dominik Szoboszlai – and did not give Galatasaray undeserved in the lead.

The Reds – with Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Jeremie Frimpong and Cody Gakpo in the base – did get opportunities from, for example, corner kicks, but the ball did not always come in. Also top purchase Aleksander Isak, who had to do it with a raid, just couldn’t find it. Also like the expensive Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. On Saturday it will have to be better if the club visits Chelsea.
Recovery Galatasaray
Galatasaray achieved a great win, after it had been painfully down in the first game at Eintracht Frankfurt (5-1). Liverpool had won the first game 3-2 against Atletico Madrid.
