Barcelona vs Galatasaray TV LIVE STREAM TODAY. The “culés” visit the Turks in a match valid for the return of the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League, at the Nef stadium. Without a doubt, a decisive match between two teams that will fight to reach the next stage and whose referee will be the Italian Daniel Orsato.

The two teams come from different realities. The cast of “Barça” is not the same as before the departure of Lionel Messi and, for now, their aspirations are to qualify for the next edition of the Champions League and fight for this tournament.

In Spanish LaLiga, they are third with 51 points, 5 points from second place from Seville and 15 points from first place from Real Madrid. Now, although they had a rather irregular start, since they were in the middle of the Iberian tournament ranking. In the first 10 rounds, they barely won 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, which completely removed them from the top positions.

In the case of the Champions League, they were in Group E and finished in third place after scoring 7 points. Bayern Munich, one of the candidates in this competition, came first with 18 points, while Benfica followed with 8 points. Dynamo Kiev came last with 1 point. This shocking third place qualified the 'blaugranas' for the preliminary round of the Europa League where they eliminated Napoli by a total of 5-3.

For his part, Galatasaray, one of the biggest in his country, does not present himself in the best way in the Turkish Super League. In fact, they are placed in box 11 with 38 points, quite far from the 70 points that the leader Trabzonspor has in a season that will surely be forgotten, since it is a team that is used to fighting for the title of his country.

In the case of the continental tournament, they qualified by finishing second last season, behind a Besiktas who advanced to the Champions League. The UEFA draw has paired them directly with Barcelona in what will be a difficult test between two teams whose stories were written at the main continental club tournament in Europe.

AN OLD CATALAN KNOWN IN TURKEY

This match will be marked, as in the first leg, by the confrontation of an old Spanish acquaintance who now resides in Turkey. It is coach Domènec Torrent, who knows perfectly what Can Barça is because he worked hand in hand with Pep Guardiola in the club's successful years between 2009 and 2012. You could say that the 59-year-old coach knows how to neutralize the game he preaches in Catalonia, so it will be an electrifying duel.

ABSENCES AND DOUBTS

Barcelona went to Turkey with sensitive victims. Right-back Dani Alves will not be able to play since he is not registered. Another important player who will be eliminated is Ansu Fati, who is still recovering from his knee injury, just like Sergi Roberto with a thigh injury. Gerard Pique, captain of the team, is in doubt because of certain inconveniences of the kidnapper. Meanwhile, the Ottoman cast will not have one of its stars, Arda Turan (former Barcelona player), due to a groin injury. Experienced goalkeeper Fatih Ozturk will not be there either.

PARTY FIGURES

The Catalan ensemble will seek to pass the stage and, for this, Xavi Hernández will be able to count on several of its figures. Pedri Gonzárez, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ferran Torres, Sergio Busquets, among other quality players, he must overcome this phase. In the case of the Turks, they are counting on the Dutch veteran Ryan Babel, the Frenchman Bafétimbi Gomis and the Chilean Erick Pulgar, among others, to achieve the feat of eliminating a giant from Europe.
