Galatasaray fans take over Liverpool street ahead of Champions League game
The Turkish fans lit flares as they marched up a street in England’s northwest.
Liverpool host Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg on Wednesday 18 March. Ahead of the game, which will see the home side look to overturn a 0-1 deficit, fans of the Turkish side made their voices heard on the streets outside Anfield.
Lighting flares and throwing objects in their previous Champions League game, against Juventus, saw UEFA ban Galatasaray fans from travelling in their playoff win over Juventus.
Despite this, they made the journey to support their team from outside the ground.
Their social media team, meanwhile, appeared much friendlier on the eve of the game.
