Barcelona shocked by Galatasaray in Europa League

Resilient Galatasaray earn goalless draw at Barcelona to leave tie finely poised ahead of return leg in Turkey
Barcelona have it all to do if they're to progress to the quarter-final of the Europa League after they were held to a goalless draw by a resilient Galatasaray at Camp Nou.

Barcelona-Galatasaray: horario, TV y dónde ver la Europa League hoy en directo
El Barcelona recibe este miércoles (21:00h) al Galatasaray, en la ida de los octavos de final de la Liga Europa, en su mejor momento de la temporada, tras encadenar cuatro victorias por primera vez en este curso y haber reenganchado a la afición con el fútbol alegre y ofensivo que Xavi prometió a su llegada y que por fin ha empezado a exhibir en las últimas semanas. En LaLiga el equipo, que ya es tercero, se ha afianzado en las posiciones de Liga de Campeones, y ahora quiere dar un nuevo golpe sobre la mesa en la segunda competición continental, donde ya es uno de los grandes favoritos al título. Tal como ya hizo en la ida de la eliminatoria ante el Nápoles, Xavi hará rotaciones para recibir el conjunto turco, que nunca ha ganado en el Camp Nou (tres derrotas y un empate). En defensa, Dest ocupará la plaza de Dani Alves, que no está inscrito en esta competición, en el lateral derecho, y Eric García la de Piqué, que podría tener descanso, en el eje de la zaga. El preparador catalán también podría dejar en el banquillo a Sergio Busquets, por lo que Frenkie de Jong haría de pivote defensivo y Nico podría ser la gran novedad en el centro del campo. Y en la delantera, Ferran Torres, Adama y Memphis, suplentes en Elche, podrían recuperar la titularidad.
Pep Guardiola must win Champions League with Manchester City to show he did not peak at Barcelona
Pep Guardiola has yet to win the Champions League with any club other than Barcelona, and while he will always be remembered as a great, he may have already peaked. The early stuff is usually the best. When it comes to albums, everything Amnesiac onwards has been nothing but diminishing returns where Radiohead are concerned.
