Galatasaray midfielder İlkay Gündoğan highlights weak away form ahead of Champions League

Midfielder İlkay Gündoğan told Sky Sports that Galatasaray’s recent Champions League campaign was hampered by “weak and ineffective” performances away from home. He said the team must become more disciplined and organized to improve its European results.

Gündoğan also reflected on life in Istanbul, praising the city’s hospitality and describing the club’s “huge potential” after winning the Turkish Süper Lig four times in a row. He stressed that while domestic success is important, the next goal is to advance further in the Champions League.

The comments come as Galatasaray prepares for the upcoming European season, aiming to translate its domestic dominance into stronger continental performances.
