How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.

Team news & squads
Galatasaray vs Barcelona Probable lineups
Okan Buruk is set to name a projected XI that includes Victor Osimhen, Rafael Leao, Leroy Sane, and Lucas Torreira, with Ugurcan Cakir in goal. Wilfried Singo is the only player absent for the hosts through injury, and there are no suspensions to report.
Hansi Flick is without a number of players for the trip to Istanbul. Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong, Andreas Christensen, and Roony Bardghji are all listed as injured and will play no part. Barcelona's projected XI is expected to feature Joan Garcia in goal, with Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Karim Adeyemi among those in the starting line-up. Updates will be added closer to kick-off if the situation changes.
Form
Galatasaray arrive in mixed form, recording two wins, one draw, and two defeats from their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a 3-1 Super Lig win over Kasimpasa, though they suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Trabzonspor in September and lost 3-1 to Sporting CP in the Champions League. A 3-3 draw with Pendikspor in a friendly sits between those results. Galatasaray have scored eight goals in their last five matches but conceded eleven, pointing to vulnerabilities at the back.
Barcelona have won all five of their last matches without dropping a point. They beat Getafe 3-0 most recently and earlier put seven past Racing Santander in a 7-2 LaLiga win. Their Champions League campaign began with a 5-1 victory over Feyenoord. Across those five games, Barcelona have scored twenty goals and conceded seven, with no match ending in defeat.
Head-to-Head Record
The two clubs met most recently in the Europa League in March 2022, when Barcelona won 2-1 in Istanbul before drawing 0-0 in the return leg at Camp Nou. Looking across the five previous meetings on record, Barcelona have won four times with Galatasaray yet to record a victory, and the Spanish club have conceded just one goal across that run while scoring seven.

In the current Champions League standings, Barcelona sit third while Galatasaray are placed twenty-ninth, reflecting the gap in their respective starts to the competition and underlining why Flick's side arrive as clear favourites.
