The Turkish international’s hat-trick helped his side remain in contention for a place in the knockout phase of the Champions League and says that it was a big achievement for him to score three times in a European game
Burak Yilmaz scored three goals for his side as Galatasaray beat Romanian giants CFR 1907 Cluj 3-0 at the Dr. Constantin Rădulescu in their fourth game of the Champions League group stages. The win against the Railwaymen has put
Gala in contention for a place in the knockout phases of the competition along with group leaders Manchester United who beat Braga 3-1 away from home on the same night.
As things stand, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s side is on top of Group H with 12 points from four games while Galatasaray are in second place, level on points with Cluj but with a superior goal difference. And, the win against Cluj was very important for the Turkish
champions who now have two games left in the competition against Manchester United and Braga who are in fourth place.
Last night, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Burak-Yilmaz-c8206 scored in a Champions League game after 17 earlier attempts and after scoring his first in 17, flood gates simply opened for him. Always touted as one of the most lethal strikers in his country, the 27-year-old has taken quite some
time to replicate his domestic form on the European stage.
And, after bagging three goals, the Antalya-born striker believes that his side was experienced enough to deal with the pressure to get a positive result which was the reason why they were able to win a game that he feels the team deserved to win.
“There was huge pressure on us given our situation which we scarcely merited, but we have an experienced squad and an eminent coach. That makes it so much easier to deal with the pressure and it is what enabled us to pick up three very important and deserved
points against Cluj,” said the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Trabzonspor-c40759 striker who has already scored six goals in the Turkish Super Lig with his new side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/CFR-Cluj-c38778 midfielder, Mario Camora has admitted that Galatasaray deserved to win the game because they dominated the game and dictated the pace.
