Barcelona shamed itself in the UEFA Champions League. The Catalans were in a group with Bayern, Benfica, and Dynamo Kyiv. It seemed that they could take second place without any problems. In fact, the Portuguese club beat the Spaniards in the final round and reached the last 16 of the UCL. Barcelona went to the Europa League knockout rounds, where their opponent was the powerful Napoli. In Spain, the rivals played out a draw (1:1), but in Italy, the Blues outplayed 4:2 Neapolitans!

Galatasaray performed magnificently in the group stage of the Europa League. Istanbul was in a quartet with Lazio, Marseille, and Lokomotiv. They managed to take first place, earning 12 points and not losing a single match. But at the same time, one can't help but wonder how Galatasaray is doing in the Turkish Super Lig. There, after 28 rounds, they're already in 12th place in the standings, which is unacceptable for one of the top clubs.

We think Barcelona won't have any problems with Galatasaray. The Catalans are finally, albeit slowly, getting back to their former level. Winning the Europa League will be a big success for them. There is a relatively easy opponent on the way - after all, the middle of the championship of Turkey. Napoli was much more serious in the joints. It is unlikely that the Blaugrana will postpone anything for the return match in Istanbul, and will make it a simple formality. We bet on Barcelona's goals and its victory with a minus handicap - we expect a rout. Prediction: Barcelona's individual total over (2.5).
