Galatasaray delivered a dominant 4–1 away win over Antalyaspor to stay top of the Süper Lig heading into the final match before the midseason break. We break down the key tactical change — Yunus Akgün starting centrally — how it transformed the attack, and Mauro Icardi’s late goal that put the finishing touch on a statement victory.

Galatasaray travel south to face Antalyaspor in one of the Süper Lig’s most unique away fixtures — and it comes at a critical moment for Okan Buruk’s squad.

We begin by looking back at last season’s meeting, highlighted by Victor Osimhen’s brilliant goal — assisted by Morato, a player no longer at the club. It’s a clear reminder of how recent transfer decisions have left real gaps in the squad.

From there, we discuss what makes this trip to Antalya so different: the warm weather, the coastal setting, and the challenging away atmosphere that can test even the most experienced sides.

We then break down Galatasaray’s projected starting XI, explaining why each player is likely to start and how Okan Buruk may adjust following disappointment in Europe. We also analyze Antalyaspor — their manager, their leading scorer, and the threats they pose at home.

Finally, we look at the league standings, explain why this match matters so much in the title race, and finish with a match prediction — including a technical xG-based projection for both teams.

It’s a big match, a big test, and a big opportunity for Galatasaray to respond.

Thanks for listening, and as always: Haydi En Büyük Cimbom! 🔴🟡

Galatasaray suffer a disappointing 1–0 defeat away at AS Monaco in the Champions League — our second straight loss in Europe and one that raises serious questions about the team’s mentality, effort, and direction. With this result, Galatasaray drop to 17th place, sitting just three points above the cutoff line, and the performance looked flat from start to finish.

In this episode of The Galatasaray Show, Brad and Serkan break down:

• What went wrong tactically

• Why the team looked disconnected and unmotivated

• Key players who struggled and why

• How this loss changes the Champions League picture

• What must improve before Saturday’s league match

• The growing pressure on Okan Buruk and the squad

A frustrating night for Galatasaray supporters — but an important conversation about where the team goes from here.
