Galatasaray vs Tottenham 2024-25 Europa League

In 2024, Galatasaray is a true soccer powerhouse.

The team from Turkey has an incredible roster, with some big stars that used to play for big Champions League clubs in the past.

They’re now competing in the 2024-25 Europa League, so they should be able to cruise to the title easily, right?

Well, they are undefeated (2-1-0) in this competition, but due to the new format, there are plenty of big games ahead for Galatasaray.

One of those is the game with Tottenham who are 3-0-0 in the Europa League ahead of their trip to Istanbul. 토토사이트 순위

Galatasaray Looking Scarily Good

According to Transfermarkt, the total value of Galatasaray’s roster is over $280 million.

That’s nothing compared to the value of Tottenham’s squad (~$855 million), but the thing is that some of Galatasaray’s key men are already in their thirties which is dragging their price down.

They also have some players in their mid-20s who have a great future ahead of them.

The best example is ex-Napoli superstar Victor Oshimen who’s still just 25.

Former Arsenal defensive midfielder Lucas Torreira is also still relatively young at 28, the same age as Davinson Sanchez who used to play for Tottenham from 2017 till this year.

Galatasaray also have some home-grown players like 24-year-old Yunus Akgun, who’s this team’s top-scorer in the 2024-25 Europa League.

The Spurs have So Many Things on Their Mind

Tottenham have a 100% win record in the Europa League, but Ange Postecoglou’s men are fighting on several fronts at once.

Last Wednesday, for example, they defeated Manchester City in the Carabao Cup.

While Pep Guardiola played with backups, Postecoglou brought some of his key men on the field that day, and one of them – Timo Werner – got injured.

He’s one of two Tottenham forwards who will miss the Galatasaray game, the other one being Son Heung-Min.

The rest of the Spurs’ players are fit, but they could do with rest, given that they’ve had some exhausting games in the Premier League as well.
