A lot of work preceded FC Bayern’s ultimately comfortable 3-1 away win at Galatasaray on Tuesday evening. In the first round, a home win for the Istanbul team was definitely in the air. The German soccer champion was also impressed by the deafening volume in the Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi.
It is well known throughout Europe that the Galatasaray venue can be emotionally charged and particularly loud. The Turkish record champions have been impressing with this special atmosphere in the premier class for many years.
“Prime Video” expert Matthias Sammer had already spoken before kick-off of one of the best stadium experiences he had ever had.
For the first time in his entire professional career, Harry Kane also played for Galatasaray on Tuesday. The 30-year-old was also very impressed by the noise in the Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi.
“It’s the first time that I’m in this stadium and I’m just trying to regain my hearing,” said the FC Bayern superstar on Prime Video after the game.
Up to 132 decibels were measured in the stadium during the game – an incredible value.
Kane and Musiala decide the game for FC Bayern
For Harry Kane, the 50,000 spectators provided an acoustic experience that he will not soon forget: “Incredible, big compliments to the Galatasaray fans and of course also to our away fans. That’s what football is about, to survive in this atmosphere here. Luckily we got through it today.”
Only after the captain of the English national team gave Munich a 2-1 lead did the noise become a little quieter. Kane had made it 2-1 after 73 minutes before Jamal Musiala made the decision just six minutes later.
