Sports commentator Hasan Şaş evaluated Galatasaray's 2-0 defeat against Manchester City. Şaş made a striking claim about the yellow-red team's chances of advancing to the playoff round, having managed to place in the top 24.
In the 8th and final week match of the UEFA Champions League, Galatasaray lost 2-0 to English giant Manchester City, but finished the league stage within the top 24 and qualified to play in the playoffs for the last 16. The potential opponents of the yellow-reds in the playoff round are Atletico Madrid and Juventus. Sports commentator Hasan Şaş made statements on the sporON YouTube channel, making remarks that will be widely discussed.
''WHOEVER COMES OUT, GALATASARAY WILL ELIMINATE''
Hasan Şaş, who stated that Galatasaray has a good chance against its potential opponents, said, "I take the passing rate from the 2nd half of the Manchester City match for Galatasaray. I also imagine it with the balls won through pressure in the Bodo/Glimt match, I envision entering that position. I think whoever comes out, the chances are 50-50 for Galatasaray. In fact, I believe Galatasaray is one step ahead. Whoever comes out, we will eliminate them."
''MY HEART IS AT EASE''
Continuing his words, Hasan Şaş said, "New transfers will also be added to the list, the squad will be very large. Galatasaray will have the chance to rest some of its players before or after those matches. When you add physical quality, I wonder why Galatasaray shouldn't advance another round. That's why my heart is at ease. Even if Galatasaray loses, my heart is at ease because they will have that squad."
