Gordon scores as Barcelona beats Galatasaray

Anthony Gordon netted his first Champions League goal for Barcelona as the Spanish club triumphed 4-1 against Galatasaray in Istanbul. Barcelona took control early in the game, dominating possession, but Galatasaray took the lead after a deflection off Joao Cancelo. The goal was initially disallowed for offside, but was upheld after a VAR check.

Barcelona equalized just before halftime through Dani Olmo, and quickly added two more goals in the second half to seal the victory. Fermin Lopez scored in the 50th minute, assisted by Lamine Yamal, and Gordon scored his first Champions League goal for Barcelona three minutes later. Karim Adeyemi completed the scoring with his fourth goal for Barcelona just three minutes after his goal.

Barcelona now have six points after their opening match in the league phase, and will face Paris St-Germain in their next match on October 20th. Galatasaray, who are currently leading the Turkish Super Lig, will look to secure their first win of the season when they travel to Lille on October 21st.
