In the second round of the UEFA Champions League, "Galatasaray" will host the English giant "Liverpool" in front of their fans today.
İdman.biz reports that the match will start at 23:00 at "RAMS Park".
The match will be officiated by French referee Clement Turpin.
Although the Istanbul representative lost 1:5 to Eintracht in Germany in the first round, this time they aim to win points at their home ground. Viktor Osimhen, who recovered from his injury, will be in the starting lineup for the first time in the Champions League match. Lucas Torreira will also be able to play in the match after recovering.
"Cim-bom"'s biggest advantage will be their fans as always - the team has not lost in the last 27 home games.
As for "Liverpool", we can say that the last champion of the Premier League strengthened their squad by spending more than half a billion euros in the summer transfer window. It is enough to show two of the most striking transfers: Florian Wirtz (140 million euros) and Alexander Isak (120 million euros).
The English lost 1:2 to Crystal Palace in the Premier League in the last round, but their main goal is to end their 20-year Champions League longing.
Another noteworthy aspect of this match is the Barış Alper Yılmaz - Virgil van Dijk duel. Their fight at EURO-2024 caused a stir in the football community.
