The Galatasaray Show

In this episode of The Galatasaray Show, I predict the remaining games against Aston Villa, AEK Athens, Feyenoord and PSG, and explain what those results could mean for our European campaign. We look at: ⚽ My original predictions versus our first four results 🔥 Why I’m backing Galatasaray to win the next three matches 📊 What the past two seasons tell us about the points needed for the top eight, seeded playoffs and qualification 🤕 How Rafael Leão’s injury affects our depth—and why Barış Alper Yılmaz becomes even more important 🇫🇷 Whether we could take a crucial point away at PSG Can we turn our recent momentum into a place among Europe’s top eight—or secure a seeded playoff spot with the second leg in Istanbul?

No Osimhen, no problem? Galatasaray beat second-place Amedspor 4-3 at RAMS Park without their star striker, scoring four goals for the second league game in a row. It got a lot closer than it should have, and it came at a cost — but this win says something new about this team. Plus the 8-games-in-31-days run, the injury worries, and a look ahead to Aston Villa.

After the derby high, this was the trap game. The sandwich game. The one Galatasaray usually drops. No letdown. No looking ahead to Stuttgart. Just a business trip to Konya — train, etli ekmek, Mevlâna, and then a 4-0 statement on the road. Was this finally the Leão we've all been waiting for? And is this team getting better at exactly the right time? Hadi en büyük Cimbom!

My third Fenerbahçe derby. My third win. What a night at RAMS Park. After a shaky stretch, Galatasaray are starting to look like themselves again — and a derby win changes everything. The atmosphere, the goals, and what this run means next. Hadi en büyük Cimbom

It's derby weekend. I'm going to my third Fenerbahçe derby — the first time I've ever been in back-to-back seasons — and on Monday night at RAMS Park (9:30 PM), I'll tell you three reasons, plus a bonus, why I think Galatasaray win. I also get into my preferred lineup and my score prediction. What's your score prediction? Let me know in the comments — and if you're going to the match, say hi. Hadi en buyuk Cimbom!

Galatasaray win their first Champions League game of the season — and they do it on the road, 4-2 at Lille. My first ever Champions League away game, and what a night. Yunus scored in the 2nd minute, Lille turned it around to lead 2-1, and just when it felt like the old story, Batrakov leveled it right before halftime. Second half: an own goal off a Torreira corner and Osimhen scoring against his old club made it 4-2. We didn't crumble. That's the story. The win moves Galatasaray up to 23rd in the league phase — inside the playoff places. From zero points to a playoff spot in one night. Man of the match: Aleksey Batrakov. The fans were chanting his name walking out of the stadium, and honestly, so was I.

Can Galatasaray get their first Champions League points at Lille? With both clubs on zero points after two matches, the pressure is building. French football expert Matt Spiro, host of The French Football Show, joins Brad to discuss Lille’s strengths, weaknesses and why he’s predicting a 2–1 Galatasaray victory. We break down: • What Lille’s defeat at Arsenal tells us • The impact of missing Tiago Santos and Ethan Mbappé • Where Galatasaray can exploit Lille—and which players pose a threat • What awaits the travelling fans at Stade Pierre-Mauroy • Whether Turkish clubs are closing the gap on French football

Galatasaray escaped Ankara with three points, but it wasn't pretty! Deniz Gül's late winner rescued the Lions from a classic Champions League hangover after a frustrating performance against Gençlerbirliği. I'm back in Ankara for the first time in eight years, bringing you my thoughts straight from the stands at Eryaman Stadyumu! In this episode of The Galatasaray Show, I discuss Okan Buruk's questionable starting lineup, the team's continued struggles with chemistry, Leroy Sané's disappointing performance, and whether the substitutions came too late. Plus, Uğurcan Çakır delivers a man-of-the-match performance to keep Galatasaray alive! I also share stories from my trip to Ankara, meeting some wonderful fans of the show, and my first experience taking the Istanbul Airport metro. And don't miss our newest segment, Lions Around the World, featuring Erhan, a lifelong Galatasaray supporter from South Africa, who shares his family's connection to the club and what being a Lion means to him. It wasn't beautiful football, but I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss every time!

Galatasaray fell 4-1 to Barcelona in the Champions League at Rams Park, but I'm not panicking. In fact, I came away from this match with some reasons to be optimistic about where this team is headed. I was there to experience the incredible atmosphere, and in this episode of The Galatasaray Show, I'm sharing what I saw from inside the stadium. We discuss Okan Buruk's bold starting lineup, including his decisions to start Yunus over Sané and Jakobs over Abdülkerim, the controversial disallowed goal, and Barcelona's relentless pressing. I'll also show you footage I recorded from the stands that raises some important questions about Galatasaray's defensive organization. Plus, we look at Batrakov's goal, Osimhen's return, the new signings getting valuable Champions League minutes, and why the upcoming trip to Lille could be a turning point.
