Okan Buruk's statement after the historic win: 'We showed what Turkish teams can do'

Galatasaray hosted Liverpool in their second Champions League match. The Yellow Reds won a historic victory at Rams Park. The Lion managed to defeat the English giant with a penalty goal scored by Osimhen. Okan Buruk spoke after the giant match.

'WE SHOWED WHAT TURKISH TEAMS CAN DO'

Okan Buruk said after the historic victory "It is very nice to win. The atmosphere was very good, the game was very good. I thank my players. They did what we asked them to do. I also thank our fans. They never stopped talking, we did everything together. We did defense and offense together. "It is important in terms of points, prestige. It is important for the promotion of Turkey. The Turkish League is not appreciated in Europe... We showed what Turkish teams can do. We have shown badly before, but to win against Liverpool without conceding a goal is very important. In the Champions League, motivation increases. So many things change. You prepare more for this match. I said it after the Alanyaspor game, we were preparing for both Liverpool and Alanyaspor, these are difficult things. What the team playing against you does is also important. In a fluid game you can try more things. We gave chances to our opponent but not big chances. The ball inside the box before the goal was very critical. Everyone was saying 'what will happen if they play like Alanyaspor, if they play like they did in Frankfurt? Every match has a different story. Our players wrote the story of this match. Victor Osimhen had a cramp, I don't think it's very important, there is no bad news." We dominated the Tottenham game, we had a lot of chances and we could have scored maybe 7-8. Against Liverpool we did a good job in terms of facing the opponent. It's not easy to win in the Champions League. I am very happy that we won against an English team, a champion English team."
