Memories of Victor Osimhen’s winning penalty in September still linger, but Buruk expects a much more focused Liverpool team this time around. With the stakes raised in the knockout rounds, the Turkish coach believes the Reds will be more clinical and less prone to the lapses that cost them during the league stage encounter.
Addressing the tactical shift he expects from Slot, Buruk added: "The teams know each other. I think Liverpool will come into this match with a very different mindset than they did to our encounter in the league phase." Galatasaray will need every bit of that home advantage to secure a result before heading to the second leg at Anfield.
