Barcelona scored three goals in 15 second-half minutes as they came from a goal down to thrash Galatasaray 4-1 in the Champions League.

Aleksey Batrakov stunned Barca by putting the hosts ahead in the first half against the run of play, but Joao Cancelo levelled the game before the break.

Match Statistics

Barca survive scare in first half

Barcelona started brightly in a raucous Rams Park, dominating possession and exploiting Galatasaray’s high defensive line. Dani Olmo was denied by a fine Urgakan Cakir save after being played through by Pedri, while Lamine Yamal fired over as the visitors looked to make their early pressure count.

Galatasaray gradually disrupted Barca’s rhythm with an aggressive press, but the visitors continued to threaten in behind. Anthony Gordon forced another good save from Cakir in the 17th minute, before Olmo narrowly missed Yamal’s dangerous cross as Barcelona searched for the opener.

Against the run of play, Galatasaray struck in the 28th minute through Batrakov and a nice assist from Rafael Leao, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.

Burak Yilmaz then doubled the hosts’ lead in the 34th minute, leaving Barcelona stunned after a spell in which they had looked the more dangerous side, but the goal was ruled out by VAR in a let-off for the visitors.

The visitors made the reprieve count when Cancelo equalised in the 43rd minute, the full-back being in space on the left before he opened his body and found the far corner.

Fast start secures Barca win

After a crucial goal just before the break, Barca scored another to take the lead shortly after it as Fermin snuck in and headed into the back of the net from a wonderful Yamal assist.

Barca were in control moments later in what was a superb start to the second half, with more fine work from Yamal presenting Gordon with the chance to fire in at the near post.

The Barca onslaught did not stop as Adeyemi got in on the act, as Gabriel Jesus flicked the ball on to the Germany international who fired a clinical shot past Cakir.
