Galatasaray welcome Atlético de Madrid to RAMS Park this Wednesday, January 21, 2026, for a crucial Matchday 7 fixture in the Champions League league phase.
The Turkish champions currently sit in 18th place with 9 points and are looking to bounce back from back-to-back European defeats without scoring a goal.
Okan Buruk’s side will be desperate to break their scoring drought, as they have not found the net in their last 192 minutes of Champions League football. Galatasaray has a poor historical record against Atlético, having never beaten them in six previous European meetings (D2 L4).
The hosts will rely on the attacking threat of Victor Osimhen and Leroy Sané to ignite their offense, while Lucas Torreira will be key in disrupting Atlético’s midfield play.
Atletico Madrid
Atlético de Madrid travel to Istanbul in exceptional form, currently occupying 8th place with 12 points and firmly on course for direct knockout qualification. Diego Simeone’s men arrive buoyant after securing three consecutive Champions League victories, including a recent 3-2 win away at PSV.
The Spanish side remains unbeaten in their last five away matches across all competitions. Atlético will look to maintain their clinical efficiency in front of goal through Julián Álvarez, while their disciplined defense aims to handle the hostile atmosphere at RAMS Park. Having won 2-0 on their last visit to Istanbul in 2015, the “Colchoneros” are confident they can extend their dominance over the Turkish giants.
