Astana vs. Galatasaray: Selcuk Inan targets knockout stages

Selcuk Inan is desperate to guide Galatasaray to the knockout stages of the Champions League after last season's disappointing campaign.

Galatasaray midfielder Selcuk Inan is determined to bag the full three points in Wednesday's Champions League encounter with Astana as he has set his sights on reaching the knockout stages.

The Turkish champion finished bottom of its group last season as Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal and Anderlecht all proved to be too strong, but it is hopeful of doing better this time around.

Galatasaray was beaten 2-0 by Atletico Madrid in its Group C opener, though, following Antoine Griezmann's double, and Selcuk realizes his side cannot afford another loss if it is to keep its European dream alive.
