The team "Galatasaray," which invests significant money in the transfer market, will not play in the Champions League once again.

In the qualifiers, the Turkish team was defeated by "Young Boys." The second match ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of the Swiss, making the overall score 3:1.

In the second match, in the 87th minute, the victory for "Young Boys" was secured by a goal from Alan Virginius. Shortly after the goal, veteran Fernando Muslera decided to trip the goalscorer and thus earned a red card.

It is worth noting that another Turkish team, "Fenerbahce," also did not make it to the Champions League, as they were defeated by the team from "Lille" in the qualifiers.

Meanwhile, "Sparta Prague" and "RB Salzburg," with their new coach Pep Lijnders at the helm, advanced to the group stage.
