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 defining match between two teams that will fight to reach the next stage and whose referee will be the Italian Daniel Orsato.
Both teams come from different realities. The 'Barça' cast 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 behind Sevilla's second place, and 15 points behind Real Madrid's first place. Now, although they had a rather irregular start, since they were in the middle of the standings of the Iberian tournament. In the first 10 rounds, they barely won 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, which completely removed them from the top places.
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 to win that 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' to the preliminary round of the Europa League where they eliminated Napoli by a 5-3 aggregate.
For its part, Galatasaray, one of the greats in his country, does not come in the best way in the Turkish Super League. In fact, they are placed in square 11 with 38 points, quite far from the 70 points that leader Trabzonspor has in a season that will surely be forgotten, because it is a team that is used to fighting for the title of their country.
In the case of the continental tournament, they qualified by finishing second last season, behind a Besiktas who gained access to the Champions League. The UEFA draw matched them directly with Barcelona in what will be a tough test of two teams whose stories were written in the main continental club tournament in Europe.
AN OLD CATALAN KNOWN IN TURKEY
This match will be marked, as well as in the first leg, by the confrontation of an old Spaniard acquaintance who now resides in Turkey. This is coach Domènec Torrent, who knows perfectly well 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 they preach in Catalonia, so it will be an electrifying duel.

ABSENCES AND DOUBTS
Barcelona traveled to Turkey with some sensitive casualties. Right-back Dani Alves will not be able to play as he is not registered. Another important player who will be out is Ansu Fati, who is still recovering from his knee injury, as is Sergi Roberto with a thigh injury. Gerard Pique, captain of the team, is in doubt because of some inconvenience in the abductor. Meanwhile, the Ottoman cast will not have one of its stars, Arda Turan (former Barcelona player), due to a groin injury. Nor will the experienced goalkeeper Fatih Ozturk be there.
FIGURES OF THE PARTY
The Catalan ensemble will seek to pass the stage and, for that, Xavi Hernández will be able to count on several of his figures. Pedri González, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ferran Torres, Sergio Busquets, among other quality players he has to overcome this phase. In the case of the Turks, they count on Dutch veteran Ryan Babel, Frenchman Bafétimbi Gomis and Chilean Erick Pulgar, among others to achieve the feat of eliminating a giant from Europe.
