Galatasaray's player, No90 (Singo), played the ball in a fair manner before the contact between players."There was a contentious penalty given at the other end of the pitch during the first-half, where the Nigerian striker made no mistake.

First half we played quite well and had a big chance to go 1-0 up."It is difficult to compare this situation to before. They make a 20% penalty a 100% penalty, which is very smart from them."We are not so far [off the level shown last season].

We now play Chelsea away, a difficult game."The margins are small and they were last season. For the second time in a row we are on the wrong side.
