Asante Akyem North MP enjoys Champions League action in Istanbul

Asante Akyem North MP, Ohene Kwame Frimpong, was among the excited spectators at the Galatasaray vs Liverpool Champions League clash in Istanbul on Tuesday night, March 10, 2026.

Spotted in the stands alongside a group of friends, the parliamentarian soaked in the electric atmosphere of a high-stakes European night, witnessing first-hand the drama of the last-16 tie.

The match, Arne Slot’s 100th in charge of Liverpool, ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for the Turkish champions, giving Galatasaray a slim advantage ahead of the return leg at Anfield next week.

Despite Liverpool’s star-studded lineup, the visitors struggled to break down a resilient Galatasaray defense, and Mario Lemina’s early header proved decisive.
