Galatasaray 1-2 Barcelona LIVE: Barcelona KNOCK Galatasaray out
Barcelona had to come from behind to beat Galatasaray in an electric atmosphere at Nef Stadyumu. The first goal of the tie came after 28 minutes of the second leg, when Galatasaray captain Marcão headed home brilliantly from a corner to lift the roof off the stadium.
But their lead didn’t last long, with Pedri soon netting a Lionel Messi-esque goal to restore parity for Barcelona at the other end. Into the second half and Barça went in front, when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang converted from inside the six-yard box following pinball in the penalty area for what proved to be the winner.
