What did sports writers say as Galatasaray won? 'Barış was the protagonist again'

Galatasaray continues its winning streak by defeating Başakşehir 2-0 at home. The victory against Başakşehir was interpreted by sports writers from various angles.

Here are the opinions of some writers:

Uğur Meleke (Hürriyet): "Başakşehir is one of the extraordinary teams in the league. Young coach Çağdaş Atan has built the team with the highest passing percentage in the Süper Lig. However, this style of play can create problems against big teams like Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray. As for Galatasaray, Barış has been the protagonist again in recent weeks."

Erman Toroğlu (Sabah): "Başakşehir could not challenge G.Saray. The team's aging and non-dynamic squad made its weight felt throughout the match. G.Saray relaxed after taking a 2-0 lead but played an uneasy game. The referee performed well in the match and, despite making minor mistakes, was generally successful."

Ahmet Çakar (Sabah): "Galatasaray continues to overcome obstacles. Although Başakşehir has a quality squad, it could not show the expected performance this season. Galatasaray is a strange team, but I say that in a positive sense. Torreira's performance stood out."

Ömer Üründül (Sabah): "Galatasaray won the match easily thanks to Çağdaş Atan's wrong tactical choices. Unlike Başakşehir, Galatasaray put its opponent under pressure with an effective high press. Torreira's dynamism was the key to the match."

Levent Tüzemen (Sabah): "Okan Buruk needs to intervene in the individualistic style of play at G.Saray. Galatasaray stood out with Barış Alper's impressive performance. Referee Cihan Aydın displayed a courageous performance in the match and was generally successful."

İlker Yağcıoğlu: "Galatasaray rarely loses difficult matches when it integrates with its fans at home. Barış Alper and Mertens have been the names that have elevated the team's performance in recent weeks."

Mehmet Özdilek: "Barış Alper combines his individual performance with the team's performance. He deserves his flexibility and performance within the team."

Rıdvan Dilmen: "Galatasaray manages to protect its score advantage and spreads the game according to its opponent. Başakşehir has goals, but for Okan Buruk, the opponent does not matter."
