I can’t complain, we need to be at least as half clinical as Bayern was in a game like this.
Gala put up an immense performance, absolutely no shame in this loss.
You should complain. You risked way too much.
One point would have been great result. You went for all 3 and got none. Sometimes you have to be conservative
Being conservative here eventually leads to concedef goals after push from bayern. This tactic gives us a chance to catch them
If Bayern wins against everybody, Gala’s fate will be decided by the results of the matches against ManU and Kopenhagen. If Gala wins against ManU, they can easily be 2nd. So Gala haven’t lost anything today.
Same game as Mainz we played horrible football but scored 3 goals and won the game. I don’t know how we got away with it, but just like against Mainz, I’ll take it.
How did Kane look?
No service almost at all. Lost the ball quite a few times in the first half and early second half and then later on in the game he put in a shift to bail the offence out.
Sounds familiar.
Love you, Kane
Really just fell apart in the second half, but you can see the potential is there. Disappointing, but still optimistic.
Really impressive effort by Gala at first half. If only they scored another goal at the first half.
Both can’t defend and the Gala can’t finish in front of goals.
It’s sad to lose after such an impressive first half, but it’s kind of obvious that you can’t keep that press for 90 minutes against Bayern. Overall I’m very proud of this team and hopeful for its future. Ahead of the game we were expecting a lose with the what if feeling anyways.
We gave them hell for 70 minutes and I feel proud of my team. If we were even slightly more clinical in front of the goal we could’ve got away with it.
Galatasaray had 3.08xG while Bayern had 1.77xG. They missed 4 big chances and ran out of gas after ~65 minutes.
Do Gala press that high in the league as well? Gotta be one of the most entertaining teams to watch
We do
Almost every team parks the bus. Its a shit show.
Sadly more often than not the opponents in the league they park the buss and just yeet the ball.
Ulreich did a great job, bittersweet to see him in a back-up role again soon
BTW great performance by the ref.
It’s always cringe when German journalists interact with Harry Kane, especially when they are called Sebastian Hellmann
His English is sadly not good enough.
Harsh on Kane
First of all I want to say thank you to the Galatasaray fans who gave us a wonderful Champions League evening.
Regarding the game I want to commend Gala for what they invested into the game and how much they ran. Their pressing was really impressive and put Bayern into a chokehold that they didn’t know how to get themselves out of. At times it was a bit harakiri with no one in counter prevention as we saw with the 0-1. The deciding factor in the end was Gala not being able to score from one of the many chances they had. Around the 70th minute, Gala ran out of gas and Bayern completely picked them apart when the space was there.
Bayern needs to be better than this if they want to go far in this tournament especially since the passing was horrendous and the midfield non-existent. They also have to learn how to minimize easy loss of the balls.
Galatasaray should make it through the groups if they are able to convert there chances. They need to learn how to control there energy better and that LB is a liability
What an absolute night and day performance. That first half will be with me forever, locking down Bayern like that, pushing your defensive line 15-20m onto their half, I’d never have imagined. Sad that we wasted so many chances but the team showed that we are ready to go head to head with the big boys, just need to build a comfortable lead when we’re putting our immense pressure early for when we inevitably drop in energy levels.
