Barcelona face hostile Galatasaray crowd in Istanbul Champions League test

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick warned his team to expect a hostile atmosphere against Galatasaray in Istanbul on Tuesday, urging them to stay focused and show their identity in the Champions League clash. Barcelona lead LaLiga by five points after a 3-0 win over Getafe, extending their unbeaten start with nine straight victories, including a 5-1 thrashing of Feyenoord. Galatasaray top their domestic league despite losing to Sporting Lisbon in their European opener. Barcelona are missing captain Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, and Roony Bardghji through injury, while Gabriel Jesus may keep his place after scoring against Getafe. Flick called the atmosphere "one of the best in the world."
