Okan Buruk: We beat Lille, now it is the derby's turn

Galatasaray left the Lille away game with a 4-2 win in the third week of the UEFA Champions League. Speaking after the match, head coach Okan Buruk said that when he cut his birthday cake, his only wish was this result.

Buruk said they had two goals: "We wanted to win the Lille match, and then we wanted to win the derby. We achieved the first one." The coach of the yellow-reds said that leaving behind a good win is not easy, but that they must focus on the derby to be played five days later.

Buruk, who said the away win made him especially happy, reminded that last season they had experienced this joy in Europe only in the Ajax match.

Drawing attention to the importance of climbing the table, the experienced coach stressed that the stretch ahead is critical: "These 5 matches are very critical. Last year we went into the final match with more certainty. We want to go into the last PSG match as a team that has already advanced."
