Galatasaray, who trained in Istanbul on Monday (16th September), can gain small revenge for last season’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final exit when they host Real Madrid in their opening Group B match of the 2013-14 competition on Tuesday (17th September).
Didier Drogba Galatasaray forward said: “We might not be the most famous team in this group with Real Madrid and Juventus. But we have the quality to disturb them. So let’s see what we can do.”
Fatih Terim, Galatasaray coach, said: “Real Madrid have made big transfers, spending significant amounts of money. Ronaldo is one of the best footballers in the world – if one of them is Messi, then the other one is Ronaldo. Indisputably. There are many dangerous players in their team – Bale is one of them. From Di Maria to Benzema, from Sergio Ramos to Casillas… we can count many of them. But we we want success at the Ali Sami Yen Arena.”
