Barcelona kick off their Europa League Round of 16 participation with a home match against Turkish giants Galatasaray at the Camp Nou tonight.
60th Min: Xavi's changes have immediately improved things for the home side. 20th Min: No change in the score line after 20 minutes in Catalonia with no shots on target for either side so far in a tame opening in this clash. 10th Min: No real chances at either end in the opening ten minutes at the Camp Nou as Xavi's Barca look to settle. No goals in the first 45 minutes at the Camp Nou with Memphis' two chances posing the biggest threat for the hosts with Galatasaray threatening on the counter attack. 38th Min: First half bookings for both sides as Berkan Kutlu is cautioned and Depay goes into the referee's notebook for a clumsy challenge on Sofiane Feghouli. 40th Min: First chance for Galatasaray as Kerem Akturkoglu drifts through a few challenges and lets fly but a sliding Eric Garcia deflects the strike over the bar. Auba and Busquets on for the second half? Xavi was clearly unimpressed by his side in the first 45 minutes as he makes a triple substitution for the second period. 69th Min: Galatasaray boss Domenec Torrent looks to change his charges up for the final minutes with a double change as Bafetimbi Gomis and Emre Kilinc come on and Ryan Babel and Mostafa Mohamed go off. 50th Min: First chance of the second period for Barcelona but Memphis' free kick just evades Pique and Galatasaray clear their lines. 61st Min: As a frustrated Memphis lashes one over the top Xavi calls the Dutchman to come off as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang replaces him. Barcelona were unable to find a way through a stubborn Galatasaray defence on the night despite Xavi bringing on his big guns in the second period and the Catalan giants will now need to win in Turkey to reach the last eight next week.
Premier League side West Ham face a huge test in their Europa League last 16 first leg as they head to Spain to face La Liga giants Sevilla.
We did enough to maybe get a draw - the Vlasic chance was a huge chance." Moyes: "We had opportunities tonight, we did a lot of good things but Sevilla are a good team. Marcos Acuna's lofted free kick to the back post is missed by the Hammers defence and El Haddadi ghosts in to cushion home a fine finish past Alphonse Areola. 29th min: Another key chance is wasted by West Ham..............how many will they get? The big news ahead of kick off is a change to the Sevilla starting line up as captain Ivan Rakitic was forced to pull out after injuring himself in the warm up with Munir El Haddadi replacing him. 15th min: CHANCE, West Ham! West Ham almost draw first blood as Declan Rice knocks down a deep free kick inside the box with Nikola Vlasic presented with an open goal but his weak effort is pawed away by Yassine Bono. 46th min: Back underway and an immediate chance for West Ham as Bono gets a strong hand on Tomas Soucek's drive to concede a corner. 69th min: The home side pounce on a mistake from Craig Dawson as Lucas Ocampos curls wide and West Ham storm up the other end with Jesus Navas producing a goal saving block from Manuel Lanzini. West Ham’s hard work undone and it was needless , Pablo Fornals giving the ball away and Kurt Zouma doesn’t need to dive in the way that he did , quality goal from Sevilla but before that they limited them the Hammers, need to find a foothold in the game now David Moyes team. A booking apiece for Rice and Ocampos as the pair get involved in a frustrated tussle. Manuel Lanzini was denied a late equaliser by a goal saving block from Jesus Navas and Moyes will need a big reaction from his players in the second leg. However, the one crucial chance which fell Sevilla's way in the second period was eventually taken, as Munir El Haddadi - who was only in the starting line up due to a warm up injury to Ivan Rakitic - steered home a fine effort from Marcos Acuna's free kick.

In all four years, the team that they lost to ended up lifting the trophy. A top-four finish in Spain would be another way for Barcelona to guarantee Champions League football again next season. They only finished third in their group, with a paltry total of seven points.

West Ham face Sevilla in the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday with their Spanish playmaker determined to make an impression.
I understand that sometimes the best way to help the team is to be on the bench. If that happens I'm ready when the coach gives me the chance to play five minutes, 20, 30, whatever he thinks is the best to help the team." "I hope the Sevilla squad, the Sevilla players, watched that game and thought 'wow these guys are not afraid of anyone. It would be disrespectful for West Ham if he's not in the next England squad. This may be the a first season in Europe proper for West Ham since 2007, but David Moyes' side took to the competition like a duck to water in the group stages. You can be the best team in the group stages and after you're playing against Sevilla. The main thing is: for us it's all new. West Ham travel to Spain with the availability of several key players in doubt, most notably Jarrod Bowen and Declan Rice. Defenders Vladimir Coufal, Angelo Ogbonna and Arthur Masuaku are unavailable. "it's really difficult when you did a really good job in the group stages and after you've been drawn to play against Sevilla right now. "I've been lucky to play Europa League a few times and you never know," he says. It seems they never need additional motivation for this particular prize, but this year they have it with the final to be played at their home ground, the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. But, in recent memory, their record pales in comparison to Sevilla. The Andalusians have won this competition a record six times despite the fact they had never won it before 2006. The other is making their debut playing at this stage of the tournament.

West Ham United are set for a tough matchup on the road against Spanish side Sevilla in the Europa League round of 16.
If they’re both on their game, it’s not difficult to imagine the pair of them finding the back of the net. That said, Rice is far and away the most impactful player in West Ham’s lineup, and he’ll play a crucial role once again on Thursday. The English superstar should be able to shut down the likes of Rakitic and Joan Jordan, making it difficult for Sevilla to work the ball up the pitch. In fact, most of what the defensive-minded midfielder contributes doesn’t show up on stat sheets. Their offense, however, is less potent, and they often find themselves struggling to convert scoring chances. The club sits in sixth place in the Premier League, with 45 points through its first 28 matches, including 13 wins. We’re going to dish out some bold predictions for the matchup between the two formidable squads.
Xavi Hernandez is expected to start Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal behind a back four of Sergino Dest, Eric Garcia, Clement Lenglet and Jordi Alba. Frenkie de ...
Barcelona welcome Galatasaray to Camp Nou this evening in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 clash. The Blaugrana are expected to make rotations for this fixture but are still intent on putting up a strong showing and securing their fifth consecutive victory; they’re in the Europa League to win the Europa League. Barcelona have been making great strides since Xavi Hernandez took over and have climbed as high as third in La Liga. They beat Napoli 5-3 on aggregate in the previous round to make it this far while Galatasaray qualified straight as group winners.
West Ham take on Spanish side Sevilla in the Europa League last-16.
"I see the next step as consolidation of where we are," Moyes added. The Hammers progressed with ease from the group stages and have proved this campaign they are the match for the toughest of opponents. We wanted to challenge Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and we want to challenge Sevilla, Barcelona, whoever it is."
A promising season for Sevilla could be in danger of petering out but it would be no surprise if they finished with a flourish in the Europa League.
Last season’s top scorer Youssef En-Nesyri was out for most of the first half of the season. Captain Jesus Navas and Kounde and have both missed games either side of Christmas. A bluntness in attack has led to too many draws. Apart from Barcelona, Sevilla are surely the team to beat. Madrid (AFP) – A promising season for Sevilla could be in danger of petering out but it would be no surprise if they finished with a flourish in the Europa League.

We are on the right path." "That performance will give us a lot of belief and hopefully we can take that into the Europa League now," Noble said on the club's website. Sevilla, who has won the Europa League four times in the last eight seasons, will face a West Ham side which is battling for a trophy.
West Ham have been punching well above their average under David Moyes, and this team feels better equipped to go all the way than previous Premier League ...
And for clubs often confined to domestic competitions by the dominance of the usual suspects, that is something to be savoured. For David Moyes and West Ham, it is a dual reward: for their outstanding season last year and for taking the Europa League group matches sufficiently seriously that they cruised into the knockout stages. Because this is not about Liverpool, the Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, the sextet who almost seem to have a season ticket for Europe. It is about the rest, some aspiring to reach that level, others always aware their ventures abroad will have the feel of a one-off. Stoke lost to Valencia and Swansea in Napoli but they can savour the thought of such matches in a week when their opponents instead include Blackpool and Peterborough. But if a Soviet-era Tbilisi may not have oozed glamour, this is the kind of attractive European tie that irregular visitors to continental competitions can deserve. It may sound strange now, as they sit 192nd in Uefa’s coefficients, but Dinamo Tbilisi were once one of the best teams in Europe. They had won the Soviet league.
Porto v Lyon, Wednesday 5:45pm (GMT). Porto were made to work hard for their spot in the last 16. Lazio pushed them all the way in their play-off ...
Rangers won the first leg 3-1 in Glasgow and Red Star won the second leg 4-2 in Belgrade. With no away goals in place to separate the teams, they had a play-off at Highbury, which Rangers won 3-1 after extra time. They lost the first leg 2-0 in Moldova but responded with a 2-0 win of their own in the return leg in Portugal and eventually won the tie on penalties. In terms of team news, Ryan Jack started Rangers’ 1-0 win over Aberdeen on Saturday after a brief stint on the sidelines and is available. The Scottish champions have lost only once in 2022, a 3-0 defeat at Celtic, and that is their sole loss in their past 23 matches in all competitions. They won their home games in both of those ties, so the match on Thursday night will be crucial. Braga beat Sheriff in the play-off round to book their place in the last 16. The goalkeeper Fernando Muslera was back in the squad for the first time since December in their 2-0 defeat at Konyaspor at the weekend and may return to the starting XI this week. Atalanta eased past Olympiacos in the play-off round, winning 5-1 on aggregate, but they have been given a tougher draw in the last 16. This has been a shocking season for Galatasaray, who are currently 12th in the Turkish Super Lig and have no obvious route back into Europe next season other than winning the Europa League. The good news is that they have no injury or suspension concerns for their first trip to the Camp Nou in 20 years. They are ninth in the table – as many points behind the league leaders, PSG, as they are above the bottom club, Bordeaux. But their form has picked up in recent weeks and they are coming into this tie on the back of a rampant 4-1 win at Lorient at the weekend. Ragnar Ache and Diant Ramaj are ruled out through injury, but Martin Hinteregger was fit enough to start in their 4-1 win at Hertha Berlin at the weekend and is expected to keep his spot after a solid display. This is shaping up to be a good season for Betis, who have already booked their place in the Copa del Rey final.

Sporting a goal difference of +15, the best defense has been attacking for them and that will continue to be the case facing Galatasaray. Bafétimbi Gomis was added to the side to improve their scoring and has done just that with three goals across four appearances for the squad.

Galatasaray might be underdogs for their Europa League tie but Van Aanholt is ready to cause an upset.
If you're tired, you're tired, but make sure you leave everything on the pitch, you know, because this is what you came back for, to show everybody that you can do it.' And I think he did it. Once his rival when he was in Chelsea's academy and Elabdellaoui in Manchester City's, Van Aanholt can hardly contain his delight to be reunited on the pitch with the Egyptian: "When he played his first game back, I told him 'bro just go all out. "In the morning I said to the guys it's going to be either Barcelona or it's going to be Sevilla." Barcelona would do well not to underestimate Galatasaray, for all their difficulties in the Turkish league. "With all due respect to all the teams, I think we are capable of beating anyone on our day. It's hard to say that he is better than the other manager because they are two different people. Since taking over from club legend Fatih Terim in January, Torrent has not entirely redressed the slide that has sent Galatasaray to 12th in the Super Lig, an unthinkable prospect for Turkey's most successful side. It will be "a dream come true" to take to the field at the Camp Nou, but Van Aanholt's ambitions won't end at kick off. They have never ended a season in such a low position, only once have they been outside the top half. The likes of Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho etched themselves deep in a footballer who has never been afraid to show a little flair, even as a left back. "We drew Barcelona and I was happy. "I had a feeling we were going to get Barcelona before the draw," he says.
Galatasaray travels to Camp Nou on March 10 to play Barcelona in a Europa League last 16th match amid efforts to put its season back on track.
We are aware of the quality they possess both in defense and offense.” We are on the right path,” he added. “We have four wins in a row, and this hasn’t happened for a long time,” said coach Xavi Hernandez on March 6 following a 2-1 La Liga win at Elche.

With the decision to remove this rule, ties in which the two teams score the same number of goals over the two legs are no longer decided on the number of goals scored away but by two 15-minute periods of extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out. Galatasaray's visit to Barcelona has a UEFA Champions League feel about it, and it could be a significant occasion for one of the Camp Nou's modern favourites, with Jordi Alba in line to make his 100th UEFA club competition appearance. The Dutchman is facing a tough battle with Celtic as the Light Blues bid to retain the Scottish title, but European success feels like a real possibility after their success against Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16, a 4-2 win in Germany preceding a 2-2 home draw.
Sevilla have won 27 of their last 28 knockout ties in the Europa League. They believe that success here is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
And giving half of a city a chance to relive those moments that no other competition could have hoped to provide. Exerting all of its efforts to get into – and stay in – a competition that they have next to no chance of winning? They are incredibly proud that they have reached more European finals this century than any other club and more proud still that they have won seven of them. Perhaps it is an undue nod to sporting romance, but it is impossible not to buy into the notion that in the magic minutes – the late salvos against Zenit in 2015 that changed the tie in both legs, goalkeeper Andres Palop’s goal against Shakhtar in 2016, the extraordinary defensive resilience against Manchester United in 2020 – were only possible because Sevilla believed in their own destiny. The same three clubs (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid) have finished in the top three positions in La Liga in each of the last eight seasons. They overturned a first-leg defeat against Lille, found an extra-time winner from Antonio Puerta (tragically killed a year later) after 200 goalless semi-final minutes and crushed Middlesbrough in the final in Eindhoven.
Catalans are unbeaten since January as they take on Galatasaray in the last-16 first leg on Thursday.
"We are in a good place right now. "There are two objectives. We have to keep insisting on our game model because it is what will give us consistency looking forward."
