I'm really curious about Galatasaray's performance in the Champions League. The team has invested heavily and spent a lot of money. They've also signed good players. Naturally, you expect success from the team. Looking at the teams they'll face, you can see their potential to advance to the next round. I think Galatasaray has a high probability of advancing to the next round. If they don't, it'll be a problem for the management, because they've spent a lot of money and won't get anything in return.
Should we expect a very good performance from Galatasaray in the Champions League platform? The team has spent a large amount of money this season. It has spent about 75 million to buy Osimhen. In addition, Galatasaray has had to spend about 60 million to buy Singo and Cakir. Even so, I would say that this team is not strong enough in the Champions League platform. However, they have the possibility of qualifying for the knockout round. Galatasaray has the ability to defeat every team they face in the Champions League platform except Liverpool and Manchester City. So qualifying for the playoffs should not be too difficult for Galatasaray.
Due to the investment Galatasaray has made so far by spending a lot of money and brought in big players like Osimhen, Singo, and Cakir, so of course the fans and others are expecting a strong results from them in the championship league. For now I will say the team looks good enough to compete with most clubs in the Champions League just as you mentioned, and they should have a real chance to reach the knockout stage.
Furthermore, the Champions League is always tough, and playing against a very top clubs like Manchester City or Liverpool, Galatasaray might struggle with them in the pitch. But Still, with the squad they have now, I can say it would be fair to expect them to at least get out of the group stage. If they don’t, it will be seen as a failure to the team and considering the heavy investment it will be very painful.
