Real Madrid vs Galatasaray − Match preview
The Champions League is supposed to be Real’s favourite competition, but they’ve struggled to find their feet so far. They’ve lost one, drawn one and won one, and with PSG on three wins out of three going into tonight, it looks like the Madridistas will have to battle it out for second place with Club Bruges and this evening’s opponents, Galatasaray.
Los Blancos would have been very happy to escape the imposing Türk Telekom Stadium with a win two weeks ago, and despite their patchy form they’re the overwhelming favourites tonight.
That said, the Bernabeu hasn’t been their favourite stomping ground over the past year or so ago, perhaps because of the famously fickle home crowd. They’ll be desperate to get off to a fast and positive start, in order to keep the fans off their backs and those infamous white handkerchiefs in their back pockets.
