Jonathan Wilson was at the Ali Sami Yen this evening. Here’s his verdict. Thanks for reading this MBM.

Snippets from Arne Slot’s post-match press conference. “There were a lot of similarities between three months ago and now … we had multiple chances to score … after 10, 15 minutes you expect us to lead and then their first attack leads to a set-piece goal … last time was a penalty, now it was a set-piece goal … you play over two games against each other and now it’s half-time … they are 1-0 up … we can do better … even with the game we played we had enough chances to score goals … next week we play at Anfield and our fans will be so supportive for us … that was the situation for Galatasaray today … it was difficult for us to play in.”
