Barcelona come from 1-0 down to beat Galatasaray 4-1 in Istanbul in a UEFA Champions League match, with winger Lamine Yamal earning Man of the Match after a two-assist display.
Galatasaray score in the 28th minute through Aleksey Batrakov, before Joao Cancelo levels for Barcelona before half-time. Barcelona then take control in the second half: one of Yamal’s assists sets up a finish by Fermín López, and soon after he provides another decisive pass for Anthony Gordon, described by multiple outlets as involving an “almost rabona” or similar footwork. Yamal’s creativity is also highlighted by The Athletic, which frames his performance as a standout example of his influence in the game.
Across the reports, the match context focuses on Barcelona’s turnaround after the early goal and the atmosphere in Istanbul. Hansi Flick is cited praising Yamal’s role, and Karim Adeyemi adds a fourth goal to complete the 4-1 victory.
