Galatasaray's squad was quite strong. Talented players like Osimhen and Icardi were in Galatasaray's squad. I considered Galatasaray to be the favorite to win the Europa League. But Galatasaray's performance against AZ Alkmaar was very poor.
AZ Alkmaar won their home match against Galatasaray by a big margin of 4-1. After being behind by such a big margin, it was no longer possible for Galatasaray to qualify for the next round. Even then, Galatasaray's team could not play that well in the home match. Alkmaar's players also performed well in the home match against Galatasaray.
Yeah, Osimhen always plays like the knockout spartan and considered to be something like the security blanket for the team.
Regarding to be a winner in he Europa League, I would like to see Galatasaray on this stand, but performance of their opponents
which seems to be the bolt from the blue for team's couch in this league don't hold out a hope of this.
Galatasaray's journey in the Europa League this season is over, yes they could not turn things around after they had to draw in the second leg against Az Alkmaar, while their goal difference in the first leg was 3 goals.
They had to be eliminated faster and I personally did not actually predict this. However, the opponents they faced were also good teams, so maybe they were unlucky because they had to get opponents who were almost the same level.
Now the Europa League is entering a new round, yes we are in the last 16 and the competition will be even more interesting.
