The blaugranas could not do cost his condition of venue in front of the 'lions' and did not attain to happen of the equality. The directed by Xavi were upper during all the meeting, during which had several occasions of goal (overcoat in the second part), but the wall imposed by the Turkish and the stellar performance of Iñaki Crag prevented to the culés arrive to Turkey with advantage in the global marker.
