00:00 [Crowd noise]
00:20 Hello everyone, all to play for in this one and quite the atmosphere as well
00:25 A cauldron of noise and fervour as you'd expect on an occasion such as this
00:30 With the prize of a place in the last eight at stake
00:34 Well having held Barcelona to a goalless draw at Camp Nou last week
00:38 Galatasaray have the chance to make up for what has been a very disappointing domestic season
00:43 By claiming the scalp of one of the giants of the European game
00:47 The Turkish team remain unbeaten in this season's Europa League
00:51 One of five clubs involved in the round of 16 that have previously won the competition
00:56 Albeit in their case in its former guise as the UEFA Cup
01:01 Marcao there, nearest the camera, the captain of Galatasaray
01:06 [Crowd noise]
01:09 Ready to go, the officials by the way
01:13 All from Italy for this evening's match
01:18 And number 26 there on the right, the goalkeeper
01:22 Knows the opposition particularly well, IƱaki PeƱa on loan from Barcelona
01:27 Looking to keep his parent club at bay for the second time in a row
01:34 [Crowd noise]
01:38 After 17 successive years competing in the knockout stages of the Champions League
01:43 Barcelona fail to get out of their group this season
01:46 Finishing behind both Bayern Munich and Benfica
01:49 That's why they're in this competition and now out to win it for the very first time
01:54 Having never previously reached the final
01:56 Losing in the last four on four occasions when it was known as the UEFA Cup
02:01 Galatasaray lifted the trophy in 2000
02:04 They seek what would be only their second success over two legs against Spanish opposition
02:10 Having lost the other half dozen
02:12 [Crowd noise]
02:17 [Music]
02:20 [Music]
02:23 [Music]
02:52 As Xavi takes his place, the backing is large and loud
02:56 The task still a considerable one for a home team
02:58 Unusually mired in mid-table in the Turkish Super League
03:02 Those two coaches will know each other very well
03:05 More on that a little bit later on
03:07 Galatasaray make two changes from last week's first leg
03:10 With the Romanian international Alexandru Tchikoldau replacing Sofian Feguli
03:15 And Bafetimbi Gomes starting up front in preference to Mostafa Mohamed
03:19 Goalkeeper IƱaki PeƱa on loan from Barcelona
03:22 Really impressive in last week's first leg
03:24 He continues to keep Fernando Muslera out of the team
03:27 Kerem Aktakoglu scored both in Monday's 2-1 league win over local rivals Bejiktas
03:33 [Crowd noise]
03:37 Referee Daniele Orsato's last European engagement before this was the first leg of the PSG Real Madrid Champions League tie
03:46 He also took charge of the Benfica Barcelona group game this season
03:50 In which Eric Garcia of Barcelona was sent off
03:55 Xavi starting 11 for Barcelona shows three changes from last week
04:06 With three big hitters returning to play from the start
04:09 Gerard Piquet at the back, Sergio Busquets in midfield and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up front
04:15 He's made a great start since arriving from Arsenal
04:17 With five goals in six league appearances including one at the weekend
04:22 Lone Adama Traore keeps his place on the right in preference to Ousmane Dembele
04:27 Serginho Des plays at right back, Dani Alves is ineligible
04:31 Barcelona unbeaten in the last ten games in all competitions
04:39 Galatasaray have lost only two of 18 home matches in the Europa League
04:45 Clean slate for both, 0-0 in Catalunya a week ago
04:50 A place in the quarterfinals awaits
04:54 A reminder the away goals rule no longer applies
05:00 And the prospect of extra time and potentially penalties is there
05:08 Daniele Osato waits for the signal
05:20 And the second leg of this round of 16 tie in Istanbul is underway
05:29 Barcelona in their change strip kicking from right to left in the first half
05:36 And here's Garcia with an early touch sending it through to Pedri
05:41 Who played really well in the first game
05:44 Pedri looking to combine with Ferran Torres on the near side
05:48 There's Galatasaray's boss Dominic Toret
05:51 He was on the coaching staff at Barcelona from 2007 to 2012
05:56 So of course will know Xavi particularly well
06:00 And at one point was among the coaching group that persuaded Xavi to stay in Barcelona
06:06 Frenkie de Jong going short with the kick
06:09 Back with Jordi Alba
06:11 Jordi Alba's fall in and it's confidently taken by PeƱa
06:25 Headed forward by Des, collected in midfield by Antalyali
06:30 Garcia into Aubameyang, now back with Busquets
06:51 Busquets who came off the bench for the second half last week
06:56 Barcelona's goal scoring struggles in Europe this season resurfaced again a week ago
07:02 Certainly haven't had goal scoring problems domestically recently
07:07 Another four at the weekend against Osasuna
07:13 Busquets was outmaneuvered there and Chico Dao trying to send it through
07:19 Chico Dao coming into the team today, that's Barbel bearing down on Garcia
07:24 And not giving Ter Stegen a moment's peace there
07:28 Did he catch the goalkeeper?
07:29 No, he didn't
07:31 And he's got a chance to score
07:35 That's Barbel bearing down on Garcia
07:38 And not giving Ter Stegen a moment's peace there
07:41 Did he catch the goalkeeper as he cleared the ball?
07:43 Referee spotted it
07:46 Here it is as Ter Stegen cleared
07:58 Ryan Barbel
08:02 Catching the Barcelona keeper
08:06 Got a bit of history these two teams, Barcelona and Galatasaray
08:20 Met eight times previously
08:23 Before this season
08:25 In European matches, all of them were group games in the Champions League and they
08:30 Fell between
08:32 1993 and 2002
08:35 It was quite a regular fixture during that period of time
08:39 Here's Robbamea
08:47 Into Busquets
08:50 Jordi Alba
08:58 Looking for the forward running Ferran Torres
09:01 Can't get away from the young French defender
09:04 Sacha BouƩ
09:05 Here's Barbel, it's a nice touch and BouƩ didn't quite keep the ball in play before
09:11 Picking out Gomes
09:13 Ferran Torres the mid-winter arrival from Manchester City
09:26 This is Piquet now
09:31 Bit of space for Busquets
09:33 Again there
09:37 Feeding the ball to Torres
09:39 Up against BouƩ
09:41 Into Pedry
09:42 First touch for Adama Traore
09:46 Faced by Patrick van Aanholt
09:52 Two players who will have faced each other before in the Premier League with Wolves and Crystal Palace
09:57 And then the challenge
09:59 Finally from
10:01 At Tercoulo
10:02 Xavi giving Traore the nod ahead of Dembele tonight for this one
10:09 Frankie de Jong to take the corner
10:15 The second one for Barcelona already
10:21 Traore
10:22 Jordi Alba
10:50 Impressive backing for Galatasaray
10:52 As ever and here comes Bafo Timbi Gomes now
10:55 It's Gomes for Galatasaray
10:57 And it's a really important block there made by Jordi Alba
11:01 Ryan Barbel ventures forward
11:04 The shot ricocheting around inside the Barca box
11:08 And then walloped away to safety
11:12 [Cheering]
11:15 BouƩ takes the throw
11:24 The touch into Tchikl Daou from Ryan Barbel
11:29 Tchikl Daou was all over Busquets there like a ration
11:33 It's been won by At Tercoulo
11:35 At Tercoulo tries the shot
11:36 Did that take a deflection there?
11:38 I think maybe of Eric Garcia who was challenging
11:41 Corner for Galatasaray
11:43 Here's the break again
11:44 Bafo Timbi Gomes
11:46 Threatening to Stegen's goal
11:51 Big block by Jordi Alba
11:55 [Cheering]
12:22 Patrick van Aanholt to take first corner of the match for Galatasaray
12:26 And it will be a goal kick
12:30 Gomes making his presence felt in the opening minutes of this one
12:34 Return to the club from Hilal at the start of last month
12:39 Having left in the summer of 2018
12:41 He scored three goals in five matches in the Super League since his arrival back at the club
12:51 Came on midway through the second half last week
12:53 But getting the start in preference to Mostafa Mohamed, the Egyptian international striker
12:58 In this one
13:01 This is GƩrard PiquƩ
13:03 Leaf by Traore
13:12 De Jong
13:14 Marcao
13:16 Stepping in and van Aanholt able to clear
13:20 Memphis de Taille by the way one of those
13:23 Left out of the starting eleven
13:26 For the second leg who started a week ago
13:29 He's on the bench
13:31 Not long back from injury
13:34 PiquƩ
13:35 Here's Torres
13:47 Torres rides the challenge of Sacha Arbouy
13:50 Always rising all the time
13:53 Scored two goals at the weekend in that 4-0 home win over Osasuna
14:03 Osasuna
14:30 Scored by Busquets, that's a brilliant ball
14:33 Here's Frenkie de Jong and it's wide
14:35 So close to the opening goal of the tie
14:40 And how quickly Galatasaray's defence was cut apart
14:48 And it opened up for Frenkie de Jong
14:51 Who couldn't quite
14:54 Keep the ball inside the post
14:59 And it's wide open
15:01 First chance for Barcelona
15:05 Frenkie de Jong one of the goal scorers in the last round
15:09 That was a cracking game
15:11 The second leg in the
15:13 The round of 32
15:15 Barcelona 4-2 winners
15:17 In
15:18 Italy over Napoli
15:21 Having again been held in the first leg at
15:25 Camp Nou by
15:27 A 1-1 draw. Now Gomis again
15:30 PiquƩ comes across
15:32 Wins the duel
15:35 And Barcelona
15:36 With time to clear
15:38 With Pedri
15:41 De Jong, looked like he was being held up there by Berkan Kutlu
15:49 Here comes Garcia
15:57 Pedri
15:58 Busquets, interception by van Aernholt
16:03 It was nicely done, and Tylan Antaglioli
16:09 With a little bit of time
16:10 Picking out Babel
16:11 Antaglioli
16:12 Antaglioli
16:34 Inch perfect
16:35 But well
16:39 In terms of distance, but Akto Koulou
16:41 Has been given offside here
16:43 As the pass is played forward
16:46 That was a very close call
16:48 He's a real threat, and worth keeping an eye on
16:54 Kerem Akto Koulou, the number 7 for Galatasaray
16:57 He has scored both of the goals in the
17:00 2-1 win over Besiktas right at the start of the week
17:03 Aubameyang sending it across to Dest
17:06 Now with Traore
17:09 Pedri
17:10 Akto Koulou
17:16 Twinkle Toed, lovely play
17:21 Lost it in the end
17:26 Took 3 Barcelona players to get the ball off him
17:30 Not enough on that pass from Pedri
17:32 Boy intercepts
17:36 Third start
17:37 In this season's
17:39 Europa League proper for the
17:42 The French fullback
17:44 Marcao
17:50 Great pass from Marcao
17:54 Collected by Babel
17:58 Going for goal, bringing the sharp save
18:00 From Tesh Dagan
18:02 From Tesh Dagan
18:03 Lively start from the home team
18:11 [Fans chanting]
18:14 Ferran Torres
18:34 In towards Pedri
18:36 Collected by Jordi Alba
18:40 Now with Garcia
18:41 Pedri losing out
18:49 Chicardo
18:54 Going forward, Garcia with the interception in it
18:59 Space to run into as well, but
19:02 Slight misunderstanding
19:04 [Fans chanting]
19:06 It was just
19:14 Lovely Twinkle Toed footwork here
19:18 From Kerem Akto Koulou
19:23 [Fans chanting]
19:25 [Fans chanting]
19:27 [Fans chanting]
19:29 Dug out by Ferran Torres
19:35 Won by Kylian MbappƩ
19:37 Montagliari
19:38 But straight at Sergio Nunez
19:40 The USA International
19:44 [Fans chanting]
19:47 Both teams have
19:58 Enjoyed threatening moments in the early stages of this one
20:02 Frenkie de Jong firing wide
20:04 For Barcelona
20:05 Back for Timbi Gomes
20:07 With a shot blocked
20:10 For Galatasaray
20:12 [Fans chanting]
20:14 Busquets
20:18 PiquƩ
20:23 Garcia
20:25 Aubameyang
20:31 Dealt with swiftly by Marcao
20:35 Jordi Alba's header
20:39 Jordi Alba's header
20:40 De Jong
20:48 Into Pedry, who this time does find Ferran Torres
20:54 Jordi Alba
20:57 Scampering forward
20:59 And that was nearly a terrific ball into Frenkie de Jong, it was just
21:05 Nudged to the ground there by Patrick van Aanholt
21:09 Wasn't going to reach the ball anyway, but unceremoniously
21:24 Dumped over the touchline by the Galatasaray defender
21:27 There was Marcao's
21:29 Challenge on Aubameyang
21:34 From just a couple of minutes ago
21:36 Back with Jean-Marc PiquƩ
21:39 Who scored the winner at home to Dynamo Kiev
21:43 In the Champions League
21:45 Champions League campaign best forgotten I think from Barcelona's point of view
21:50 Finishing behind Bayern and Benfica, they only got 7 points
21:56 [Fans cheering]
21:59 Test under pressure
22:05 Torre, the Catalan coach of Galatasaray has
22:21 Taken over during this season
22:24 And Fatih Terim
22:26 Steadied the Galatasaray ship
22:32 Of course knows all about
22:34 Their opponents in this round of 16 tie
22:38 He and his team
22:45 Worked hard for their goal of Strasbourg last week
22:53 And the opportunity that presents itself for them this evening but
22:57 Adamo Traore
22:58 Down under the challenge from van Aanholt
23:01 No foul
23:03 Van Aanholt just keeping the ball in play
23:07 Tickled out challenge by Busquets
23:09 Well, Adamo Traore clearly had his right foot trodden on there by
23:19 Van Aanholt, that clearly
23:22 Is what sent him to the ground
23:24 And that is why Gaby reacted in the way that he did
23:28 This is Dest
23:37 Thought he'd showed too much of that to Van Aanholt
23:43 And the Dutch defender then brings him down
23:45 And then tied a tangle resulting in a free kick for Barcelona
24:10 For Barcelona
24:11 Referee Orsato I think, happy that
24:36 Up to Colu
24:39 Is standing where he should be
24:41 Frankie de Jong with the ball at his feet
24:44 And it goes towards Pique
24:48 This is Torres
24:51 And Jordi Alba under pressure from Babel
24:56 Dest
24:59 Back into Busquets
25:01 20 minutes
25:02 Garcia
25:20 20 minutes in
25:22 Pique
25:31 Looking for the run of Adamo Traore
25:33 Shooked away by Van Aanholt, cleared by Dewey
25:38 Marcao
25:45 And here's the Danish international defender now
25:50 Victor Nelson into Ryan Babel
25:52 Pretty quiet opening 20 minutes ready for IƱaki PeƱa, the Galatasaray goalkeeper
26:07 And the flag goes up, free kick for Barcelona
26:12 Dest
26:13 Traore
26:41 De Jong in support on the right as well
26:43 Traore losing his way and Bafetimbe Gomis challenged by
26:52 Eric Garcia who is penalised by the referee
26:55 Referee
26:56 That was the side call against Babel
27:15 Feared away by Jordi Alba
27:17 Petri is not being given time on the ball
27:22 Sent forward by Antagliari, here he is once more
27:25 Petri, it's a mismatch of the season with a hamstring injury, only returning in late January
27:38 Midway through the first half
27:46 Here's De Jong, he's had the one really good chance of the match
27:52 Clean through, putting it just wide
27:54 Garcia
27:56 Lobamio
28:00 He's had nothing resembling a chance thus far
28:03 Eric Garcia
28:19 De Jong
28:20 Straight at van Aanholt, up Tercoulo
28:29 Sending it forward, collected though by De Jong for Barcelona
28:34 Busquets
28:36 Petri alongside him
28:37 Ferran Torres near side, Obamian in the middle
28:40 Petri now in the box as well
28:42 Here's Busquets
28:44 Trying to pick up Traore
28:47 First time back in, header clear by Nelson
28:49 Obamian on the ground, no foul
28:52 TK tidying up
28:55 And it's with
28:58 Garcia who brought it a long way forward and has stayed up on the edge of the box
29:09 Now thinking better of it and venturing a little deeper, but in possession again
29:12 Traore
29:20 De Jong
29:24 Into Obamian, just showed too much of that
29:27 Between them Busquets and Jordi Alba hold
29:37 Ryan Barber at arm's length
29:39 De Jong's length
29:40 Header clear by Nelson
29:57 Only as far as TK
29:59 Much of the play inside Galatasaray's half in this phase of the match but
30:06 They'll look to counter now, it was a lovely ball from Gomez
30:09 And here comes Atakolu
30:12 Scuttling after it
30:14 Tracked by Serginho Dez, tidied up by Jordi Alba
30:19 It was a worrisome moment there for Barcelona
30:23 As Galatasaray
30:25 Broke forward very rapidly indeed
30:29 But no damage incurred, and now here comes Obamian
30:32 For Barca, lovely bit of skill
30:34 De Jong
30:39 Now Adama Traore
30:42 This is Petri, and he doesn't get hold of that at all
30:46 And now it's a goal for Galatasaray
30:55 First time ball back in, this was a little earlier when Obamian went down under the challenge of
31:07 Nelson
31:09 [Crowd cheering]
31:25 That was on by Ryan Barber, back for Timbi Gomez
31:28 Looking at referee Osato, hoping he was going to get a free kick but Eric Garcia brings it forward
31:34 Adama Traore
31:38 [Crowd cheering]
31:41 Dispossessed too easily, down under pressure
31:43 Alexandre Chiqualdal was just caught
31:46 And it's a yellow card for Sergio Busquets
31:49 By the way only one Barcelona player, this was a challenge on
32:02 Adama Traore that wasn't penalised, and now this one clearly wasn't
32:06 Rightly so, it was a foul by Busquets
32:09 Now he's name taken
32:13 Gerard Pique is the only Barcelona player who has won booking away from a potential suspension
32:19 At Thailand and Thailand for Galatasaray
32:23 Here's Gomez
32:25 Now Babel
32:30 Tracked by Jordi Alba, good play though by Ryan Babel
32:33 It's going to be a corner
32:35 Relishing this first half though, Ryan Babel
32:48 Giving Jordi Alba plenty of trouble
32:52 Garcia coming across
32:58 Blocking it behind for the corner kick
33:00 Chiqualdal sends it over, and it's in!
33:14 The deadlock is broken in the tie, Galatasaray
33:18 Ahead, thanks to a header from their captain, Marcao
33:23 Marcao!
33:24 Barcelona's defence is breached
33:37 What a noise
33:42 What a moment for Galatasaray
33:46 And for Marcao
33:48 Marcao!
33:49 What a time to score your first goal of the season
34:03 Here it is once again, Chiqualdal with the ball in
34:10 The diving header from Marcao
34:13 What a goal
34:14 Ter Stegen could only watch
34:22 And as it came over, he got in ahead of Ferran Torres
34:26 A big, big moment that has lifted the roof
34:41 And unfortunately for Marcao, he
34:43 Lifted the corner flag out of the ground as well, such was the fervour of his celebration
34:47 And it has cost him
34:48 A yellow card from the referee
34:51 And having
34:53 Carried out the repairs
34:55 A Brazilian defender will
34:57 Take his place
34:59 Back in the heart of the Galatasaray defence
35:05 At the Neft Stadium
35:10 Rocking to its very foundations
35:12 Big test now for Xavi and Barcelona
35:17 Still having a few issues with
35:39 The corner flag
35:40 I think it's sorted out now
35:42 And while they just finish that, here it is again
35:44 Great header from Marcao
35:48 1-0 on the night, 1-0 on aggregate
35:57 1-0 on aggregate
35:58 One win and six defeats against Spanish teams in
36:12 Two-leg ties over the years
36:14 But they have a slender advantage in this one
36:20 Long, long way to go though
36:21 Gomez wins it back
36:23 Tickledown
36:25 In ahead of Aubameyang
36:26 That was de Jong into Dest
36:29 Half an hour in
36:38 Atmosphere at FIBA pitch in Istanbul
36:41 Barcelona rock back on their heels by that goal
36:45 Looking to make a
36:48 Quick response
36:49 Victor Nelson clears up towards Gomez
36:52 Won by Pique
36:54 Collected by
36:55 Pedri
36:57 Excellent play
36:58 From the teenager
37:00 Picking out de Jong
37:02 Pedri's on the deck
37:05 Referees
37:06 Pointing as though he's spotted exactly what happened there
37:10 But Barcelona are still on the attack
37:12 Sergino Dest
37:13 Looking for Aubameyang
37:15 Doesn't reach
37:17 Torres either
37:18 And Barbel just rolls the ball out of play
37:20 Pedri
37:21 Running into Marcao
37:35 Which must have felt like running into a brick wall
37:38 Well de Jong had that
37:47 Really good chance early on
37:48 Didn't he?
37:49 But
37:50 IƱaki PeƱa
37:52 In the Galatasaray goal
37:53 Hasn't really
37:54 Had anything to do
37:56 Of any great import
37:57 In the opening
37:58 32 and a half minutes
38:00 Pique
38:02 Who's
38:03 Seen it all over the years
38:07 Aubameyang
38:08 Busquets
38:11 Barcelona struggling to create
38:14 Struggling to keep hold of the ball as well at the moment
38:17 Aktokolu now
38:19 Comes forward looking for Gomis
38:21 Vital interception by Eric Garcia
38:24 Busquets
38:27 Another misplaced pass
38:29 And Marcao
38:32 Sends it away to the far side
38:34 Chikol Dao
38:35 Van Aanholt
38:36 Well they haven't had much to shout about
38:40 The fans of Chimbom this season
38:42 It's been a
38:43 A rotten domestic campaign
38:45 Down in 11th place in the Turkish Super League
38:48 Unheard of really
38:49 But it's all coming out
38:52 In this first half
38:54 Poor clearance by PeƱa
39:11 [FANS ROAR]
39:13 Pique
39:31 Steady advance
39:39 From Barca
39:40 In by Jordi Alba
39:41 Marcao away
39:42 Doye underneath him
39:46 Babel too
39:48 Jordi Alba
39:49 Pedri
39:50 Now Dest
39:53 Pedri looking to pull a few
39:57 Strings
39:59 Up against Thailand
40:00 And Tagliatelle
40:03 Gets a fortuitous deflection there
40:05 Off Babel
40:06 It's still with Pedri
40:07 Still Pedri
40:09 Goal kick
40:10 He had one thing on his mind there
40:22 Chikol Dao
40:23 Chikol Dao
40:43 With Nielsen
40:46 PeƱa
40:48 [FANS ROAR]
40:50 One by Gomes
41:01 Chase for Durkan Kudlu
41:04 Back vision of Pique
41:08 In the last 10 minutes of this
41:11 First half
41:13 [FANS ROAR]
41:15 This is Dest
41:24 He's away from Aptekoglu
41:26 Good play by Serginho Dest
41:29 Traore with the return
41:31 Dion trying to slide it through
41:33 Then it breaks down for Barcelona
41:35 Pique
41:39 Gets the ball back off
41:41 Aptekoglu
41:42 Frankie de Jong
41:44 Aubameyang
41:49 Pedri
41:51 Ferran Torres
41:52 De Jong sends it in
41:57 Torres
41:58 Pedri with a chance
41:59 It's Pedri for Barcelona
42:01 And it is a brilliant goal
42:03 Of patience, skill and precision
42:07 [FANS ROAR]
42:09 Barcelona
42:14 Drawing level
42:15 Just a few minutes
42:17 After conceding Marcao's header
42:20 Such composure
42:24 From Pedri here
42:26 Ferran Torres sliding it through
42:28 Evaded the first challenge
42:30 Waited for the second to come in
42:32 Burkan Kudlu diving in
42:36 There
42:37 And then just rolling it past
42:40 IƱaki PeƱa
42:42 Lovely goal from Pedri
42:45 Showed his quality there
42:47 Galatasaray 1 Barcelona 1
42:51 [FANS ROAR]
42:54 Much more the sort of thing that
43:08 Xavi is looking for
43:10 From his team in this game
43:12 And
43:14 The crowd's
43:17 Balloon was popped there by that goal
43:21 Just taking a few moments to
43:23 Regroup and gather themselves
43:26 Before getting back into full voice
43:29 And here come the home side again
43:34 Aptakoglu is trying to feed it through
43:36 Towards Gomes
43:38 Here's Ferran Torres
43:48 And Jordi Alba
43:49 Eric Garcia bringing the ball a long way
44:00 Oh and just too far for Aubameyang
44:02 Kicked away by Van Aanholtz
44:04 As far as Pique
44:06 Stupic was
44:08 Not a good goal
44:10 But he's got the ball
44:12 And he's got the ball
44:14 And he's got the ball
44:16 And he's got the ball
44:18 And he's got the ball
44:20 And he's got the ball
44:22 And he's got the ball
44:24 And he's got the ball
44:26 And he's got the ball
44:28 And he's got the ball
44:31 And the goalie I think was
44:32 Antagliari
44:33 It was Dest
44:36 Getting away from Aptakoglu
44:37 Or is he? No
44:39 That'll be a free kick for Galatasaray
44:42 Clearly a foul by Dest
44:52 Here's Ryan Bavel
45:00 Chiquardel
45:01 No power
45:02 Not comfortable for
45:06 Tesh Dagan
45:08 Garcia
45:17 And another one of those runs
45:20 Powerful but ultimately fruitless
45:24 He's taken a whack
45:29 He and Marcao on the deck
45:30 Referee Daniele Orsato is waiting with a yellow card in his hand
45:36 We've seen a number of those 4-a's forward from Eric Garcia in this first half
45:50 That's Marcao the goal scorer for Galatasaray there, captain
45:57 And he's back up but Eric Garcia is
46:09 It's as though
46:12 Treatment may be required
46:26 And Daniele Orsato having patiently waited
46:29 For the Barcelona defender to get back up shows in the yellow card
46:34 He slipped and
46:42 Caught the ankle of Marcao
46:45 And tried to release the ball
46:47 Garcia will have to tread carefully
46:55 Between now and the end of the match
46:57 And there is history between him and the referee
46:59 Orsato sent him off in the Champions League in a group game this season
47:03 Xavi
47:08 Complaining about
47:09 What that was for
47:10 Garcia now coming back on
47:19 Relatedly allowed back on the pitch
47:24 Fourth official there getting it in the ear is Daniele Kifi
47:29 But he's a very, he's a calming figure, Kifi
47:33 Good at defusing
47:38 Situations
47:39 Two and a half minutes remaining of the opening
47:51 Two and a half minutes remaining of the opening 45
47:54 So really nothing's changed to any great degree
48:04 Since last week with away goals not counting anymore
48:07 Still parity between these two
48:10 What a goal it was from Pedri though, the equalizer for Barcelona
48:19 Absolutely wonderful
48:21 Good bouncing off Torres
48:24 Marcao away to the far side
48:28 Here comes Akta Koulo
48:30 Barbel
48:35 Gonna have to move an inch to bring that one in
48:38 Sassaboue was
48:41 Racing forward into the penalty area
48:44 Marcao
48:47 Van Aanholt
48:48 Kerem Akta Koulo held up this time by Adama Traore
48:52 Who hasn't really
48:58 Threatened to any great degree on the right hand side for Barcelona
49:01 Venturing forward
49:02 Another stoppage
49:12 It's
49:14 Kerem Akta Koulo on the deck
49:16 Winded
49:23 Caught that by Traore as he cleared the ball away
49:36 What a bitty conclusion to the first half
49:38 This is turning into a game of Goal by Goal
49:40 And it's a goal by Goal
49:42 And it's a goal by Goal
49:43 And it's a goal by Goal
49:45 And it's a goal by Goal
49:47 And it's a goal by Goal
49:49 And it's a goal by Goal
49:51 And it's a goal by Goal
49:53 And it's a goal by Goal
49:55 And it's a goal by Goal
49:57 And it's a goal by Goal
49:59 And it's a goal by Goal
50:01 And it's a goal by Goal
50:03 And it's a goal by Goal
50:05 And it's a goal by Goal
50:07 And it's a goal by Goal
50:09 And it's a goal by Goal
50:11 And it's a goal by Goal
50:13 And it's a goal by Goal
50:15 And it's a goal by Goal
50:17 And it's a goal by Goal
50:19 And it's a goal by Goal

50:23 And it's a goal by Goal
50:25 And it's a goal by Goal
50:27 And it's a goal by Goal
50:29 And it's a goal by Goal
50:31 And it's a goal by Goal
50:34 Gasi
50:35 Here's the goalscorer, Pedri
50:39 Frenkie de Jong
50:55 Here comes Pique
51:00 Here comes Pique
51:01 Eric Garcia
51:06 Breaks down and Ryan Barbel now
51:10 With a chance to lead the counter
51:12 Into Bafotimbi Gomis
51:14 He was a little too ponderous in possession
51:17 And Barbel was just outnumbered
51:21 Disappointing outcome there for Galatasaray
51:25 Looked promising for a moment
51:26 [Crowd cheering]
51:41 Eric Garcia
51:43 De Jong making a run through the middle
51:46 Jordi Alba
51:49 Looks for a Bamiak
51:51 And again, Van Aanholt does just enough
51:55 To put him off his stride
51:56 Marcao in ahead of Ferran Torres
52:03 For the opening goal of the tie
52:05 And this
52:08 Calmness
52:10 Personified
52:11 An individual effort
52:14 Of the highest quality
52:16 From Pedri for Barcelona's equalizer
52:18 [Crowd cheering]
52:28 Here he is once more
52:30 In the last minute of
52:39 Additional time
52:41 Here comes Pique
52:48 Now Traore
52:50 De Jong
53:04 Traore
53:05 Still not having any joy
53:10 At Adama Traore
53:12 Garcia
53:14 Pique
53:15 Pique
53:16 Last few seconds of the first half
53:18 Here comes Dest
53:23 Now it's Adama Traore
53:25 That's a better ball
53:27 A Bamiak
53:28 Bouncing off the top of the crossbar
53:32 And behind to bring the first half
53:34 To a conclusion
53:36 Barcelona pushing for a second goal
53:39 Almost on the whistle
53:41 Rattling the Galatasaray crossbar
53:45 Via
53:46 Aubameyang
53:47 But it is even at the break
53:51 Both teams having found the back of the net
53:54 Marcao
53:55 Heading Galatasaray ahead
53:57 And then a goal of individual brilliance from Pedri
54:01 Drawing Barcelona level
54:03 Half time in Istanbul
54:04 Galatasaray 1
54:05 Barcelona 1
54:08 [Applause]
