After a strong run in last season's edition, Sporting CP and Galatasaray meet again for Matchday 1 of this season's Champions League league phase. The match takes place this Wednesday at Estádio José Alvalade. The home side has got off to a perfect start this season, remaining unbeaten through their first 5 Liga Portugal matches. Rui Borges's team can already count on a Luis Suárez in great form, with 4 goals to his name, he'll be looking to keep that momentum going on the European stage!
Galatasaray isn't backing down, either. They've also made a perfect start in the Süper Lig, sitting atop the standings after 4 matchdays. The Turkish club has no intention of easing up for their Champions League opener. Even with Victor Osimhen sidelined for this matchup, Okan Buruk still has other offensive weapons at his disposal in Leroy Sané and Rafael Leão. All the ingredients are in place for an entertaining match.
