In the 6th week of the UEFA Champions League, Galatasaray, who played away against Monaco, left the field with a 1-0 defeat after Balogun's goal in the 68th minute. After the loss to Union Saint-Gilloise, the yellow-reds returned from Monaco without points, experiencing their second consecutive defeat.
STUCK ON 9 POINTS AFTER 6 MATCHES
Galatasaray started the Champions League with a 5-1 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt. After that, our representative reached 9 points by winning the matches against Liverpool, Bodo/Glimt, and Ajax, but could not maintain their momentum with losses in the last two matches. Injuries, suspensions, and a shrinking squad rotation negatively affected the team's performance.
THE TOP 8 DREAM IS OVER
After the defeats against Union SG and Monaco, Galatasaray's chances of entering the top 8 dramatically decreased. According to the latest calculations, the yellow-reds' chance of making the top 8 has dropped to 0.03 percent.
ADVANTAGE CONTINUES FOR THE TOP 24
Although the chance of making the top 8 is almost zero, Galatasaray still has a strong chance of being in the top 24. This probability stands at 86 percent. However, the likelihood of elimination has risen to 7 percent with the consecutive defeats.
REMAINING MATCHES WILL DETERMINE FATE
Galatasaray will complete the group stage of the Champions League with two crucial matches. First, they will face Atletico Madrid at home, and then they will play against Manchester City away. The results of these two matches will determine the final ranking of the yellow-reds in their Champions League journey.
