One goal enough for Flick as Barca enter Galatasaray cauldron

ISTANBUL: Barcelona coach Hansi Flick expressed contentment with a single goal victory at Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday. The Catalan giants have maintained an impressive 39-goal scoring average this season, winning all nine of their games so far. However, this visit to Istanbul marks one of their toughest fixtures, as it precedes clashes with Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

The Spanish champions defeated Feyenoord 5-1 in their league phase opener, but will be missing Raphinha for the Turkish match. Flick emphasized the significance of the intimidating atmosphere at Rams Park stadium, often dubbed "Hell." He stated that the team's primary objective is to secure a win, be it 1-0 or more. Despite being one of the best teams, Galatasaray poses a formidable challenge, especially at their home ground.
