FC Barcelona vs Galatasaray is the next big first let match in this year's UEFA Europa League. Galatasaray challenge Barcelona at Camp Nou on Thursday in the first leg of their last-16 meeting in the Europa League.

FC Barcelona vs Galatasaray: Match Preview:

The kind of game that could quite easily have been a Champions League fixture, Barca approach with confidence. While Xavi has a long way to go if he's going to restore former glories at the Camp Nou, Barca's form of late has been particularly impressive.

Barcelona are under pressure to perform after a sub-par campaign in Europe so far. Xavi's side got knocked out of the Champions League at the group stages, but overcame Napoli in the Europa League knockout playoffs to qualify for the last-16.

In contrast, with three wins and 12 points in their last six matches in the Europa League group stages, Galatasaray have proven themselves a tough unit. They came through undefeated and will do their utmost to stay unbeaten at Camp Nou.
