Preview: Liverpool vs Galatasaray
Liverpool enter this second leg needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit after a frustrating first-leg defeat in Istanbul, where a seventh-minute header from Mario Lemina proved to be the difference. Arne Slot’s side has been uncharacteristically inconsistent lately, coming off a 1-1 draw with Tottenham and winning only three of their last six matches across all competitions. Despite their current struggles, the Reds can lean on their formidable European record at Anfield, where they have won 15 of their last 19 UEFA matches and famously overturned similar deficits against giants like Barcelona and Chelsea in the past.
Galatasaray arrive on Merseyside full of confidence, sitting at the top of the Süper Lig and currently on a lengthy winning streak following their 3-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir. Having already beaten Liverpool twice this season—once in the league phase and once in the first leg—the Turkish champions have shown they have the tactical discipline to stifle Slot’s attacking transitions. However, they will be without the suspended Davinson Sanchez, a significant blow to a backline that must now withstand the inevitable "Anfield roar" and a relentless Liverpool press for 90 minutes.

The tactical battle will likely center on Liverpool's ability to break down Galatasaray's compact defensive block, which has proven remarkably resilient in their previous meetings. Arne Slot is expected to restore key figures like Mohamed Salah and Ibrahima Konate to the starting lineup after they were benched against Tottenham to manage fitness. Liverpool must find a balance between high-intensity attacking and defensive caution, as Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen remains a world-class threat on the counter-attack, capable of scoring the away goal that could effectively end the tie.
Injuries continue to plague the hosts, with Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, and Wataru Endo all ruled out, while midfielder Stefan Bajcetic also remains sidelined. For Galatasaray, beyond the loss of Sanchez, players like Victor Osimhen and Roland Sallai are walking a disciplinary tightrope, just one booking away from missing a potential quarter-final. With Slot’s 100th game in charge of Liverpool having ended in a first-leg defeat, the pressure is immense to deliver a vintage European night and secure a spot in the final eight.
