Barcelona turns a halftime tie into a 4–1 win at Galatasaray

Batrakov strikes, then Cancelo answers

Galatasaray took the lead in the 28th minute when Batrakov scored after a cutback from Leao. The shot deflected off Cancelo, putting Barcelona behind in a first half that ultimately ended level.

Osimhen appeared to add a second goal for Galatasaray, but it was disallowed for offside after a VAR review. Barcelona then equalized in the 43rd minute: Olmo supplied the pass, and Cancelo scored to make it 1–1 at halftime.

Two goals soon after halftime

Barcelona moved ahead in the 50th minute when Fermin headed in a cross from Yamal. Three minutes later, Yamal provided another assist, this time for Gordon. The quick succession of goals took Barcelona from a halftime tie to a two-goal lead.

Adeyemi adds to the lead

Substitute Adeyemi scored in the 65th minute, giving Barcelona its fourth goal of the match. After Galatasaray’s first-half opener, Barcelona had scored four times without reply, with three of those goals coming after the break.

Late saves complete the win

Galatasaray still had late chances, but Joan Garcia saved attempts from Osimhen and Sane. Barcelona finished with a 4–1 victory at Galatasaray in the Champions League, having turned a 1–1 halftime score into a three-goal winning margin.
