Galatasaray: Teams
built 200 days ago
Galatasaray entered the competition through the back door - as one of the third-placed teams in the first group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Even then they had to beat AC Milan in their last game to qualify. But win they did, and that victory was the start of a run which took the Cimbom from the UEFA Cup Third Round, past Bologna FC, BV Borussia Dortmund, RCD Mallorca and Leeds United AFC, to the final at the Parken Stadium.[29]

The first half was in added time when Galatasaray reduced arrears as Nonda evaded his marker and coolly nodded in a pinpoint Arda Turan centre. That provided the spur for the home team to start the second half strongly, and Barış Özbek, Lincoln and Nonda all passed up chances before Andersson found space on the left and arrowed a shot high into Aykut Erçetin's net. The Arda-Nonda axis was ... behind the latter's second goal in added time, although it came too late to alter the outcome and left the Turkish club with it all to do in their remaining games.

Galatasaray's most successful era came in late 1990s, when the club won the UEFA Cup and European Super Cup and becoming the first Turkish football club ever to win a European trophy. They were aided in this by one of Turkey's best generation of home grown footballers who went on to finish third in the 2002 FIFA World Cup and played quarter finals of UEFA Euro 2000. Besides the talented players, visiting teams ... disliked traveling into Ali Sami Yen Stadium which is literally called "Hell" by the supporters of Galatasaray due to the intimidating atmosphere provided by the fans including chants and riots in the crowds.[13]
