Barcelona and Galatasaray have met eight times in official matches, but never in the Europa League.
That changes Thursday when the teams convene at Camp Nou for the first leg of the 2021-22 round of 16. Traversing the Europa League knockouts is a new experience for Barca, and facing a familiar foe in Galatasaray may help in that regard.
Of the eight previous matches between the clubs, Barcelona's won five and lost just once. The Blaugrana hopes to continue that trend over the next two weeks.
"We want to win the Europa League. We’re excited about the idea,” Barca midfielder Frenkie de Jong said. “Galatasaray are a good side. But we are winning games right now, and we are creating a lot of goalscoring opportunities.”
Having won three straight in La Liga, the Blaugrana will get the opportunity to extend that form into the Europa League on Thursday.
"Right now, we are brimming with confidence," de Jong said.
