Galatasaray was defeated 1-0 by Monaco, whom they visited in the 6th week of the UEFA Champions League.
Speaking to the cameras after the match, head coach Okan Buruk evaluated the game and shared important information regarding the health status of goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır.
OKAN BURUK'S STATEMENTS
“We are going through a difficult process. The absence of our valuable players was felt, especially in the physical duels in the second half. We have two matches ahead of us and 9 points to be won. We want to win the Atletico Madrid match and continue toward our goals.
Now we will focus on the league. We will prepare much better for the Atletico match. This defeat saddened us. We have lost two matches in the Champions League. We cannot help but think, ‘Would we have been in the top 8 if we had won these matches?’… It is demoralizing not to be able to take advantage of the chances we created against such an opponent.”
UĞURCAN ÇAKIR'S SITUATION
“We were only missing an injured goalkeeper… Uğurcan Çakır has a strain in his upper muscle. It will be clarified after the MRI, but he will most likely not be able to play in the next match,” he said.
