In the early morning of October 1, in the second round of the new season's Champions League stage, Liverpool lost 0-1 to Galatasaray away, suffering a two-game losing streak in the two-tier league. It was the first time that it was facing this Turkish Super League giant who lost two games in a row.

Since the new season, Liverpool has performed well overall, leading the Premier League standings, and defeated Atletico Madrid 3-2 at home in the first round of the Champions League, while completing the four consecutive victories in the confrontation between the two sides. However, last weekend, Liverpool was upset by Crystal Palace and suffered its first defeat in the league. He went to Türkiye to challenge the Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray away.

In the history of the Champions League, the two teams have met four times. Liverpool and Galatasaray both achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, and tied, but the last matchup dates back to the 2006-07 season.

In this game, Liverpool rotated in the starting lineup, Salah and McAllister sat on the bench, with the forward line led by Garkepo and Ekitic. In addition, Wilz, Jones, Heraffenberg and Sobosloy in the midfield. On Galatasaray, the forward line sent a double striker combination of Ilmaz and Osmeen, and Gundogan led the midfield. After the opening of the game, Liverpool had the advantage in possession, but the number of threats created was not as good as Galatasaray. In the 4th minute, Ilmaz's single shot was blocked by goalkeeper Alisson, missing an excellent opportunity. In the 7th minute, Gakepo made a diagonal pass in the penalty area, and Ekitic headed the ball missed.

In the 14th minute, Ekitic's single-handed opportunity was destroyed. Then Gakepo followed up and the shot was blocked by the defensive player's goal line, missing a good opportunity. Soon Werz made a mistake in the penalty area, allowing Galatasaray to counterattack quickly. Sobosloy reached out to knock down the opponent's player in the penalty area. The referee signaled a penalty kick, which also caused some controversy. In the 15th minute, Osmaine took the penalty and hit a penalty, helping Galatasaray win the first goal 1-0 at home. Tens of thousands of fans at the scene were instantly excited. In the 29th minute, Liverpool almost conceded another goal, and made a mistake in the backcourt pass and was hit to counterattack. Osmaine broke into the penalty area and passed the ball across the goal. Connert kicked the ball first and kicked out of the baseline. In the 33rd minute, Osmaine successfully counterattacked and a lob shot from outside the penalty area was hugged by goalkeeper Alisson.

Liverpool was once very close to the equalization, but Werz swung his leg from the middle of the penalty area and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

At the end of the first half, Liverpool still lags behind Galatasaray with one goal, with a possession rate of 62%, 9 shots and two straight shots, and 4 corner kick opportunities, and they really won't score. In the second half, Liverpool's defense continued to be unstable. In the 54th minute, Connat made a return pass, causing Heraffenberg to be intercepted. Osmeen pushed the ball with one shot and was hugged by goalkeeper Alisson, but he was injured and replaced in advance.

After that, Liverpool still could not equalize the score, especially in the 88th minute, Connat's point was cancelled, and he eventually fell out of the road and collapsed in just three days.
