Barcelona beat Galatasaray 2-1 to advance to Europa League quarter-finals
Catalan “Barcelona” reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League season 2021/2022. This is reported by the correspondent of “Lenta.ru”.
In the 1/8 finals of the tournament, the team defeated the Turkish “Galatasaray” with a score of 2:1. In the 28th minute, the Turks took the lead thanks to a goal from defender Marcao Teixeira. Then midfielder Pedri (37th) and striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (49th) scored for Barcelona. The first match between the teams ended in a goalless draw.
This season, Barcelona for the first time in 20 years was left without the playoffs of the Champions League. Because of this, the team lost more than 30 million euros. It was noted that the Catalans were planning a budget with the expectation that the team would reach at least the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The draw for the 1/4 and 1/2 finals of the Europa League will take place on March 18 in Nyon. The matches will take place on 7 and 14 April.
