SERKAN KORKMAZ – YETİŞ TORREIRA
A vital match has passed for Turkish football and Galatasaray. Of course, having a Turkish team in the Champions League is very important. Entering and advancing in the arena of giants is more important than the league championship for the European Conqueror, whose greatest pride is the UEFA championship in its history full of championships and trophies. Torreira’s absence, due to the late transfers, going to Norway was unsettling enough.
Likewise, the home team started the game well and dominated our representative. Conceding a goal from the corner and falling back in the early minutes, we were all very worried. We also managed to get ahead with Oliveira’s goal that hit the dam and met with the nets, and Icardi decorated Yunus’s exquisite pass with an artistic touch.
I have no words for Icardi. Like some Turkish football fans, especially Galatasaray fans, he often seems like “the best striker in the world” to me. While the yellow-reds were ahead, playing superior, Muslera’s critical saves were active after the score came to 2-2.
