Galatasaray LIVE: Already a “vital” match for Sampaoli’s men in an electric atmosphere

Dear young ladies, welcome to 20 Minutes to follow this Europa League match between Olympique de Marseille and Galatasaray. That promises to be hot at the Stade Vélodrome for this second day, with many Turkish supporters expected in Marseille. OM has taken the initiative to minimize the risk of excesses between supporters, and the police headquarters have strengthened its security measures, but the reception of a Turkish team is never easy. As in 2012 when fights broke out all over the stadium between supporters of Marseilles and Fenerbahçe.

On the pitch, OM coach Jorge Sampaoli already considers this match “vital”, after the poor performance in Moscow and the cruel Russian equalizer in the last minutes. Dimitri Payet is there, as is Boubacar Kamara. The Marseillais especially record the return of their star striker Arkadiusz Milik, who could play his first minutes of the season tonight.

Galatasaray, far from its good years, is having a complicated start to the season in the league. But the Turks are for the moment alone at the top of this group E after their surprise victory against Lazio, yet announced favorite of the group.
