BARCELONA
Xavi’s emergence at the helm has turned things around massively for the Catalans. With 4 wins in the last 4, Barca have found themselves 3rd on the league table. Looking at the troubles they encountered at the early stages of the season, no one would have predicted a huge turnaround in fortune and a potential top four finish.
Their January window acquisition has also yielded positive results with Barca bagging 13 goals in the last five. This means, whatever happens, Barca would always score and find a way back in a match. Their dominance in the 5-2 aggregate win over Napoli in the Last 32 tie and the comeback win over Elche in the last La Liga tie is a testament to how much things have changed under Xavi.
GALATASARAY
Galatasaray will hope to remain in this competition so they can replicate their greatest achievement in- winning the then UEFA Cup in 2000 and grabbing the UEFA Super Cup thereafter.
Although they started out in the UCL this season, they failed to make it beyond the qualifying round, losing 7-2 to PSV Eindhoven. Since dropping to the Europa League, they topped their group, staying unbeaten in 10 European matches, the longest such run in 13 years.
