Galatasaray welcome Barcelona to Istanbul tonight for a delicately-posed Europa League last-16 tie.

A stalemate at the Camp Nou left the last-16 tie in the balance and a fierce atmosphere in Istanbul will greet Xavi’s men.

The Blaugrana comfortably downed Osasuna on the weekend yet Gala gained momentum with a 2-1 derby win over Besiktas, courtesy of Kerem Aktyrkoglu’s brace.
