Preview: Galatasaray vs Liverpool
Liverpool returns to Istanbul for a high-stakes UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Galatasaray on March 10, 2026, seeking to avenge a shock 1-0 league phase defeat from earlier this season. Arne Slot's side enters the knockout stage in red-hot form, having won seven of their last nine matches, including a recent 3-1 FA Cup victory over Wolves. However, the Reds face a daunting historical challenge at RAMS Park; they have never won an away match against Galatasaray, recording one draw and two losses in three previous visits. The home side, managed by Okan Buruk, remains a formidable force in Istanbul, having lost only twice in their last 46 home matches across all competitions.

The tactical battle will likely centre on whether Liverpool’s makeshift backline can contain the prolific Victor Osimhen, who has already netted seven Champions League goals this term, including the winner against Liverpool in September. Liverpool is dealing with a significant "bombshell" injury to starting goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who was ruled out of the trip after experiencing discomfort in training, leaving Giorgi Mamardashvili to start between the posts. While the Reds are also missing Alexander Isak and Conor Bradley, they are bolstered by the return of Florian Wirtz, who is expected to feature after a back injury. Galatasaray, meanwhile, will rely on their "expert" home atmosphere and a settled 4-2-3-1 formation featuring former Premier League stars Davinson Sánchez and Lucas Torreira.
