"The last time Liverpool played Galatasaray away, in the Champions League group stage in December 2006, they sent out a team that featured Gabriel Paletta, Danny Guthrie and Lee Peltier. They lost 3-2, Robbie Fowler with both of their consolations. To be fair, it was a dead rubber, with Rafael Benitez's team having already won their group, the Turkish side already knocked out, and Liverpool went on to reach the final."
"Liverpool's only other game away at Galatasaray was also in the Champions League, in February 2002. They drew that one 1-1, Jari Litmanen setting up Emile Heskey, part of a campaign that looked highly promising until Gerard Houllier inexplicably took off Didi Hamann in the quarter-finals against Bayer Leverkusen but that's a topic for another day. Anyway, it all means Liverpool are still searching for their first away victory over Gala. Will that quest end tonight?"
The last Liverpool away match at Galatasaray in the Champions League group stage was in December 2006, with a side including Gabriel Paletta, Danny Guthrie and Lee Peltier. Liverpool lost 3-2, with Robbie Fowler scoring both of their goals, although the result followed their group win and Galatasaray's elimination. The only other away meeting was a 1-1 draw in February 2002 after Jari Litmanen set up Emile Heskey. The 2002 campaign had promise until Gerard Houllier substituted Didi Hamann in the quarter-finals against Bayer Leverkusen. Liverpool remain without an away victory at Galatasaray and face them again tonight from 8pm UK time.
