Barca come from behind to beat Galatasaray 4-1, Yamal sets up two
Post
📰 Barcelona fell behind in the Istanbul cauldron, then hit back to win 4-1.
📌 Key points
😱 Aleksey Batrakov gave Galatasaray the lead on 28 minutes.
⚡ João Cancelo equalised just before half-time.
🔥 Barca scored three times in 15 minutes after the break (50, 53, 65).
🎯 Lamine Yamal set up the goals for Fermín López and Anthony Gordon.
🏆 Barcelona have won all 10 games this season.
📝 What happened
😱 Without Raphinha, Barca were caught on the break on 28 minutes. Rafael Leão tore down the left and pulled the ball back for Batrakov, whose deflected shot found the bottom corner. Barış Alper Yılmaz then thought he had doubled the lead, but VAR ruled it out for offside.
⚡ Cancelo rescued the visitors on 43 minutes, curling past Uğurcan Çakır after Dani Olmo helped the ball into his path, and it was 1-1 at the break.
🔥 The second half belonged to Barca. Fermín headed in Yamal's cross on 50 minutes, and three minutes later Gordon finished a chance created by Yamal's footwork for his first Champions League goal for the club. Adeyemi made it four on 65 minutes from a Gabriel Jesus lay-off.
📈 Barca had 71% of the ball and 2.83 xG against Galatasaray's 0.43, and Victor Osimhen barely had a sniff.
📊 By the numbers
• Barca this season: 10 wins from 10
• Nine goals in two Champions League games, top of the league phase on 6 points
• Possession 71% v 29%; accurate passes 625 v 202
• xG 2.83 v 0.43
🔭 Why it matters
Coming from behind in one of Europe's toughest away grounds shows this side can handle adversity, and Yamal, Gordon and Adeyemi all delivered with Raphinha missing.
The real tests are next: PSG in the Champions League on 20 October and El Clásico against Real Madrid at Camp Nou on 25 October.
