Barcelona vs Galatasaray, Europa League: Final Score 0-0, Hard-fought first leg ends in goalless draw at Camp Nou

Barcelona could not take advantage of playing in front of their home crowd and have left everything to play for in Turkey next week thanks to a 0-0 draw against Galatasaray in the first leg of their Europa League Round of 16 tie. Barça played in third gear for most of the night and had a frustrating 90 minutes in front of goal, and the visitors put up a solid fight to earn a very good result at Camp Nou.

FIRST HALF

The first 45 minutes were played at a very good pace, with both teams showing good intensity in their pressing and moving the ball quickly and not wasting too much time between their passes.
