"They don't lose many matches throughout the year. We don't lose many matches throughout the season. Therefore, we need to be very focused on what we're going to do. We're going to be playing against one of the best teams in the world, and we want to show that we can be one of them. I've played against them many times and I know what kind of team they are."
"We'll be playing against a very good team, a team in form, a truly good team, even if they lost their last match," he said. "We'll be playing like Galatasaray, thinking like Galatasaray, applying intense pressure at home, making the opponent feel that pressure, and truly putting our opponent under pressure in this sense. We know we'll achieve this tomorrow, together with our fans. We've played a lot of matches. The Liverpool match will certainly be one of the toughest we've played during my tenure."
Liverpool lost their unbeaten start to the season and now travel to Galatasaray in Istanbul for a Champions League tie. The clubs have not met since 2006 and Liverpool have not beaten Galatasaray on Turkish soil. Mario Lemina warned both teams rarely lose, urged intense focus, and described Galatasaray as one of the best teams he has faced. Manager Okan Buruk called Liverpool a very good, in-form opponent, labelled the match among the toughest of his tenure and promised to apply intense home pressure with fan support. Galatasaray have Ilkay Gündoğan and Leroy Sané available; Victor Osimhen is likely to start pending a final fitness check. Liverpool did not include Federico Chiesa for the trip due to Giovanni Leoni's knee injury, while Hugo Ekitike is available.
