There is a second game in Istanbul. When they ask me how many options you have. I always say options. I don’t think about numbers. We have to play really very well if we want to get through the tie. We have to play almost perfectly. Fanatic, no. I’ve been a Barcelona member since I was little, but today no one doubts that I’m from Galatasaray. Special? Yes, because I spent many years here. Glorious years with players like Xavi, exceptional.

The technician spent minutes later for a press conference.
Domenec Torrent explained that you cannot “go out and play Barca face to face after achieving a 0-0 draw at the Camp Nou with a defensive approach. We approached the match like this because we were playing against Barça and they had just scored four goals against the other rivals . We have tried to minimize their great offensive qualities and in many phases of the match we have succeeded. If you go against Barça with your chest uncovered, you will hit it – analyzed the Spanish coach at a press conference. One of the great protagonists of the game was Iñaki Pena , the Barça goalkeeper on loan to Galatasaray, who made three worthwhile saves. Today he has shown once again that he is a goalkeeper who gives a lot of security, a very calm goalkeeper who plays very well with his feet. He has a bright future ahead of him, assured Torrent.
