Barcelona 0-0 Galatasaray 1st Leg Highlights: Iñaki Peña on-loan from Barcelona helps Galatasaray settle for a goalless draw at the Camp Nou – Europa League Round of 16
Iñaki Peña, on-loan from Barcelona, produced a stunning performance in goal for Galatasaray to deny his parent club the win. The 23-year-old pulled off a brilliant one-handed save to keep out Memphis’ 27th-minute free-kick as the Turkish side frustrated their hosts at the Camp Nou.
Sergio Busquets came off the bench at half-time and saw his header tipped over the bar by Peña. Barcelona failed to find the back of the net for the first time in 17 games following a 0-0 draw at home to Galatasaray.

Frenkie de Jong spurned Barça’s best chance 15 minutes from time when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s overhead kick fell into his path six yards out but the Dutch midfielder failed to get his feet ready and directed the ball wide.
Bafétimbi Gomis thought he had nicked a shock win for his side in the 78th-minute with a clinical finish before the linesman flagged for a tight offside. Barcelona are next in action against Osasuna in LaLiga on Sunday on home soil. Galatasaray take on Besiktas in their next Super Lig outing on Monday at home.
