Barca Skipper Raphinha Out Against Getafe and Galatasaray
Barcelona defeated Galatasaray 4-1 at RAMS Park in Istanbul on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League, with World Cup-winner Lamine Yamal setting up two goals during the contest.
Despite Barcelona dominating early exchanges, Russian Aleksei Batrakov broke the deadlock for the hosts; Joao Cancelo equalized for Barcelona before halftime following a pass from Dani Olmo.
Lamine Yamal orchestrated the second-half surge, assisting Fermin Lopez to take the lead, then setting up Karim Adeyemi and rolling a pass to Gordon for the final goal.
With this victory, the Catalans share the lead in UEFA Champions League standings with Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon, while the Turkish club remains without a point.
The Blaugrana entered the match following a perfect start in La Liga, having won all eight matches and scored 34 goals, alongside a 5-1 home victory against Feyenoord.
A controversy erupted at Galatasaray after the defeat against Barcelona. According to the fans, Roland Sallai should have been sent off much earlier by Okan Buruk.
With a magical second half, Barcelona defeated Galatasaray 4-1, who had made the mistake of taking an early lead.
