Okan Buruk announces his target after the win over Lille

Galatasaray beat Lille 4-2 away in matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League. Head coach Okan Buruk, speaking at the post-match press conference, said the away win made him especially happy.

Buruk recalled that last season they won away from home only against Ajax. He said the match in Lisbon was close to a win, but the victory did not come there. Stressing that the five matches ahead are critical, the coach said he was pleased to have won the first of them.

Buruk explained that last season they went into the final match in a more secure position, and said that this season they want to walk out for the last match, against Paris Saint Germain, as a team that has already secured a place in the knockout stage.

Noting that they played with the same desire and concentration from the first minute to the final whistle, Buruk said they reacted after falling behind and went ahead. He added that the score could have been higher with better starts.

Drawing attention to the value of beating Lille, who are level on points with Galatasaray in the French league and are in the title race, Buruk congratulated his players.
