Hansi Flick knows that FC Barcelona’s trip to Istanbul will not be a walk in the park. After the Catalans’ victory over Getafe (3-0) in La Liga, the German coach looked ahead to the clash with Galatasaray, scheduled for Tuesday, October 13 in the Champions League.

Flick wary of the atmosphere at Galatasaray’s stadium

The German coach is expecting a particularly intense evening at RAMS Park, where Turkish supporters are renowned for their fervor:

We will face Galatasaray on Tuesday. We will play in the loudest stadium in the world. We have to prepare for that. It’s the Champions League, it’s different. All the teams in this competition are very strong.

Despite the good performance against Getafe, the Barça coach knows that the demands will be different in Europe. His team will have to remain focused and manage the pressure to avoid being unsettled by the atmosphere in Istanbul.

Victor Osimhen, an identified threat

Hansi Flick also wanted to highlight the attacking threat posed by Galatasaray, with one name in particular: Victor Osimhen.

Galatasaray have a great striker like Osimhen and possess a very strong squad. We have to be ready for this match and play our best football.

Thanks to his physical power, speed and finishing ability, the Nigerian international can cause opposing defenses problems. His presence will force Barcelona’s defenders in particular to remain vigilant against runs in behind and crosses.
