It’s sad to lose after such an impressive first half, but it’s kind of obvious that you can’t keep that press for 90 minutes against Bayern. Overall I’m very proud of this team and hopeful for its future. Ahead of the game we were expecting a lose with the what if feeling anyways.

Ulreich did a great job, bittersweet to see him in a back-up role again soon

Good game Bayern bros. We really had you guys in the first half but that best in the world mentality is too strong to handle over 90 minutes.

I’m so fucking proud of this team. We finished mid table in the Turkish league just two seasons ago and now we’re here going toe to toe against the giants.

Same game as Mainz we played horrible football but scored 3 goals and won the game. I don’t know how we got away with it, but just like against Mainz, I’ll take it.

BTW great performance by the ref.

What an absolute night and day performance. That first half will be with me forever, locking down Bayern like that, pushing your defensive line 15-20m onto their half, I’d never have imagined. Sad that we wasted so many chances but the team showed that we are ready to go head to head with the big boys, just need to build a comfortable lead when we’re putting our immense pressure early for when we inevitably drop in energy levels.

Do Gala press that high in the league as well? Gotta be one of the most entertaining teams to watch

First of all I want to say thank you to the Galatasaray fans who gave us a wonderful Champions League evening.

Regarding the game I want to commend Gala for what they invested into the game and how much they ran. Their pressing was really impressive and put Bayern into a chokehold that they didn’t know how to get themselves out of. At times it was a bit harakiri with no one in counter prevention as we saw with the 0-1. The deciding factor in the end was Gala not being able to score from one of the many chances they had. Around the 70th minute, Gala ran out of gas and Bayern completely picked them apart when the space was there.

Bayern needs to be better than this if they want to go far in this tournament especially since the passing was horrendous and the midfield non-existent. They also have to learn how to minimize easy loss of the balls.

Galatasaray should make it through the groups if they are able to convert there chances. They need to learn how to control there energy better and that LB is a liability

Ulreich was great and made a number of key saves. But Bayern couldn’t play out from the back because Gala were pressing Bayern CBs 1v1 and forced Ulreich to kick it. Unfortunately distribution is not part of his game. They really need Neuer back.

I can’t even be happy about this shit anymore

Hey, 3 points…so Tuchel must have done everything right, riiiiight?

Pisspoor performance in the first half, lucky in the 2nd that Gala couldn’t take that high speed for more than 70 min and also failed to shoot more goals themselves.

Questionable substitutions at random times

First game in knockout stage and Bayern is out cause not a single CL winner-contender is gonna let Bayern show up with such a performance and not punish them

Tuchel is going down as the worst coach in the history of the team, which is impressive, considering the run Klinsmann had a couple of years back…

Congrats to Galatasaray. xG for Gala is 2,41 while Bayern is 1,75. Better team was Gala but Bayern won with their experience. I’m pretty confident, Gala will be 2nd in this group.

I can’t complain, we need to be at least as half clinical as Bayern was in a game like this.

Were those Northumbrian pipes?

Very fitting tribute either way

That first half was so amazing to see, shame it didn’t go further.

I think that Bayern would have won 2-3 anyway, but it’s such a shame it wasn’t closer than it was.

It’s always cringe when German journalists interact with Harry Kane, especially when they are called Sebastian Hellmann
