Barcelona are through to the Europa League quarterfinals thanks to hard-fought 2-1 victory against Galatasaray in the Round of 16 second leg in Istanbul. Barça started the game very poorly and found themselves behind, but reacted well and scored two good goals to leave a very intense atmosphere in the Turkish capital with the victory and a spot in the Last Eight.
FIRST HALF
The opening 30 minutes of the first half were easily the worst Barça have played since Xavi Hernández took over. It was like watching Ronald Koeman’s team at its very worst: terrible passing, zero intensity and remarkably bad defending.
