Uğurcan Çakır: We want to reach the last 16!

Galatasaray beat Stuttgart 2-0 in the fourth week of the UEFA Champions League, with the match played at RAMS Park. Speaking after the game, goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır said the team dominated most of the match. Çakır emphasized that head coach Okan Buruk prepared the team very well for the game and said they were pleased with the victory.

Çakır recalled that Russian player Aleksey Batrakov made his mark on the match with two goals. Describing him as a young and talented player, Çakır said Batrakov's performance has improved as he adapts to the team and that he has been working hard to learn English. Çakır also noted that with this win, Galatasaray has reached 6 points in the Champions League, and that the team will now prepare for its Trendyol Süper Lig match against Amedspor.

The goalkeeper said they want to win as many Champions League matches as they can this season. Çakır stated that they aim to exceed the points they collected last season and want to finish among the top 24 teams and reach the round of 16. He viewed the performance in the away match at Lille positively and reminded that they lost the away match at Sporting due to poor refereeing. He added that they put up a particularly good fight against Barcelona in the first half.

Çakır explained that Okan Buruk prepared the team especially well to deal with the opponent's one-on-one pressure. He said they try to pass the ball to Barış Alper Yılmaz, Victor Osimhen and Yunus Akgün, and that they want their teammates to run to open up spaces.
