  Job Done! Galatasaray Get the Win vs Göztepe

  Aug 30, 202615 min

  Galatasaray take care of business with a 3-2 win over Göztepe! Victor Osimhen continues his strong form, while Alexey Batrakov gets 45 meaningful minutes and looks comfortable in his first real opportunity with the team. Despite conceding twice from set pieces and being forced to start our backup goalkeeper after a pre-match injury, Galatasaray find a way to collect another three points. I break down what I liked, what still needs work, and why Okan Buruk needs to use the next two matches to get the rest of his new players meaningful minutes before the Champions League begins. Plus, a quick look at a new Galatasaray necklace sent to me by Beyond 90.

  What Should Galatasaray Fan Expect from Rafael Leao?

  Aug 28, 202629 min

  Is Rafael Leão really on his way to Galatasaray? And if the transfer happens, what kind of player — and personality — would Galatasaray actually be getting? I’m joined by Martino Puccio from That Milan Podcast to get the AC Milan perspective on one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer. We discuss Leão’s rise to becoming Serie A MVP, why his performances have dipped in recent seasons, and how much of that decline can be blamed on the instability surrounding AC Milan. We also tackle some of the biggest concerns Galatasaray supporters have about the Portuguese star: his work rate, pressing, consistency, body language, and the reputation he has developed in the Italian media. Martino also gives us the perspective from inside Milan on an important question: Is Rafael Leão actually a problem in the locker room, or has that narrative been exaggerated? Plus, we discuss why playing alongside Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sané could bring out the best in Leão, his friendship with Osimhen, Galatasaray’s reported €50 million pursuit, and the battle with Aston Villa for his signature. If Galatasaray can complete this transfer, could Leão–Osimhen–Sané become one of the most dangerous attacking trios in European football?

  Can Galatasaray Get 16 Points in the Champions League?

  Aug 27, 202612 min

  Galatasaray’s 2026/27 UEFA Champions League opponents are set! Barcelona, PSG, Aston Villa, Sporting CP, Feyenoord, Lille, Stuttgart and AEK Athens stand between Galatasaray and another run in the Champions League knockout rounds. In this episode of The Galatasaray Show, I give my immediate reaction to the Champions League league phase draw, break down Galatasaray’s eight opponents and predict how many points we can earn. Last season, Galatasaray advanced with 10 points, while 16 points was enough for the final automatic Round of 16 qualification spot. Can Galatasaray reach that 16-point mark this season and avoid the knockout playoff? We also discuss which matches Galatasaray absolutely must win, the difficult trips away from Istanbul, Okan Buruk’s European challenge, what this draw means for Galatasaray’s remaining transfer business, and why squad depth will be crucial for another Champions League run. How many points do YOU think Galatasaray will get? Can we finish in the top eight and qualify directly for the Round of 16? Drop your prediction in the comments! Hadi Cimbom Hadi!

  Is THIS the Real Galatasaray? | Erzurumspor 0–4 Galatasaray

  Aug 22, 202613 min

  Galatasaray gets its first win of the season with a dominant 4-0 victory away at Erzurumspor — and THAT’S more like it! Victor Osimhen scores twice, Yunus Akgün and Roland Sallai get on the scoresheet, and Okan Buruk is able to empty the bench in the second half. We also saw an encouraging performance from Lesley Ugochukwu in his Süper Lig debut for Galatasaray. But why did this team look so different from the one that struggled against Çorum? Did the arrival of Aleksey Batrakov finally lift some of the pressure surrounding the squad and allow the players to focus on football again? And if this is what Galatasaray can already do before the remaining transfers arrive, how good can this team become? Brad breaks down the 4-0 win, the goals, Okan’s lineup decisions, Lesley’s improvement and why this finally looked — and felt — like the Galatasaray we’ve been waiting to see. Like the video

  What Should Galatasaray Fans Expect from Aleksey Batrakov?

  Aug 18, 202626 min

  Is Aleksey Batrakov ready to become Galatasaray’s new #10? With the 21-year-old Russian star potentially on his way to Istanbul, I sat down with renowned Russian sports journalist Alexey Yaroshevsky to find out exactly what Galatasaray could be getting. What kind of player is Batrakov? Where does he fit in Galatasaray’s system? Can his success in the Russian Premier League translate to the Champions League? And what are the weaknesses Galatasaray supporters should know about? This is great Galatasaray transfer news! Alexey also explains why Batrakov has been compared to some of Russia’s biggest talents, reveals interest from PSG, discusses the mentality and work ethic that helped him become one of Russia’s brightest young stars, and tells us why he believes Galatasaray could be the perfect next step in his career.
