Galatasaray may be sitting near the top of the standings table in the Turkish Super Lig, but the football club is struggling to stay afloat in the 2014 2015 UEFA Champions League.

The 2013 2014 Champions League Outcome

Don't forget to bring along your allegiance backpack or your other Nike Galatasaray football merchandise as you attend soccer games this fall! Your support would likely be particularly appreciated at the remaining UCL group stage matches, since the Yellow-Reds are in danger of missing knockout stage qualification.

Galatasaray's qualification quandary is a bit curious, considering the fact that the soccer team made it to the round of 16 for the 2013 2014 tournament. Last fall's group stage was tough, too: the Yellow-Reds were drawn into a quartet with Real Madrid, Juventus, and Copenhagen.

The Galatasaray squad ultimately edged out the latter two teams en route to the round of 16 (where they lost to Chelsea). However, this year fans are worried that the team won't make it past the group stages.

2014 2014 Tournament Troubles

The odd thing is that it looked from all angles as if the Yellow-Reds were going to have an easier time with groups for the 2014 2015 UCL. Where last year saw them facing off with Italian football titans (Juventus) and eventual tournament champions (Real Madrid), this year's lineup put them up against Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, and Anderlecht. Only the last of those is the top football club in its own country.

Unfortunately, though, fans with the Galatasaray Nike allegiance backpack 2014 2015 have been somewhat letdown by their team's tournament play so far. After tying with Anderlecht in their first fixture of the competition, the Yellow-Reds fell into a rut with an October 1 match against Arsenal. The English club hammered their challengers 4-1.

All the good luck charms and Galatasaray football merchandise in the world hasn't helped turn the tide in favor of the squad since then. On the contrary, a pair of matches against Borussia Dortmund were equally disheartening: a 4-0 loss at home and a 4-1 defeat on the road, respectively.

That trio of sizable losses has not only dropped Galatasaray to the bottom of Grop D in terms of points, but also in terms of goal difference. With 13 goals allowed and only three scored, the squad will have to fight hard to correct things if they hope to reach the next phase of the 2014 2015 UCL tournament.

Looking Forward

The question that buyers of the Galatasaray Nike allegiance backpack 2014 2015 are likely asking, though, is this: does the squad even have a chance at this point of advancing to the next round?

Looking at the numbers there is a chance, albeit a slight one. In order to qualify for the knockout stages, the Yellow-Reds will firstly have to win their two remaining matches. Those are scheduled for November 26th and December 9th, and will be played against Anderlecht and Arsenal, respectively.

Secondly, Arsenal will have to lose both of its remaining matches, including the one against Galatasaray and one with Dortmund. The English squad currently has seven points on the Group D standings table, while Galatasaray would reach seven with two wins.

Finally, Galatasaray would have to score at least 13 goals in those two matches to surpass Arsenal in goal difference. The latter team would also have to be shut out in both fixtures.

Obviously, it's a long shot that Galatasaray will progress to the next round of the 2014 2015 UCL tournament. However, you can cheer for them nonetheless with new Galatasaray football merchandise from Nike! Whether you are looking for an allegiance backpack or a Nike tracksuit, you can find it at Soccer Box!
