Previous meetings • Galatasaray have lost both previous home games with Atletico: 2-1 in the 2009/10 UEFA Cup round of 32 (2-3 on aggregate) and 1-0 after extra time in the 1973/74 European Cup first round, also losing 1-0 on aggregate. • In the more recent game, substitute Diego Forlán struck a 90th-minute winner for the visitors after Simão's opener had been cancelled out by Kader Keïta. • The lineups in the Ali Sami Yen stadium on 25 February 2010 were: Galatasaray: Leo Franco, Uğur Uçar, Elano (Ayhan Akman 50), Arda Turan, Keïta, Neill, Mehmet Topal, Mustafa Sarp (Dos Santos 90), Hakan Balta, Servet Çetin, Caner Erkin. Atlético: Sergio Asenjo, Valera, Antonio López, Raúl García, Jurado (Camacho 90+4), Agüero (Forlán 42), Paulo Assunção, Ujfaluši, Reyes (Salvio 90+2), Simão, Perea. • Hakan Balta played in both legs of the tie while Sabri Sarıoğlu and Emre Çolak also remain in the Galatasaray squad. Match background Galatasaray • The Turkish double winners are in their 14th group stage campaign and their fourth in succession. They missed out in the five seasons before 2012/13. • At home in last season's group stage Galatasaray drew 1-1 with RSC Anderlecht, followed by a 4-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund. They also lost 4-1 at home to Arsenal FC to finish bottom of Group D. • That matchday six reverse stretched the Turkish team's winless European run to eight matches, although they have lost only five of their last 21 European home matches. • Cimbom's best performance came in 1988/89 when they reached the European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-finals. • The 3-2 defeat of Real Madrid CF in the 2012/13 quarter-final second leg (3-5 overall) ended Galatasaray's 12-game winless run against Spanish sides (4D 4L) stretching back to another 3-2 success against the Merengues in the 2000/01 quarter-final (another 3-5 aggregate defeat).
