LIVERPOOL stars were given a rude awakening after Galatasaray fans set off fireworks outside their team hotel in the middle of the night.
Arne Slot’s Reds are in Turkey to face the Super Lig kings in Tuesday’s Champions League group stage clash.
But there could be some tired eyes among the visitors after their sleep was interrupted in the worst possible way
Liverpool aces including Alexander Isak, Mo Salah and Florian Wirtz will likely have jolted out of bed after Galatasaray fans launched a massive fireworks display outside their hotel.
The supporters crept up to the building in the middle of the night.
But they soon announced their presence by setting off multiple screeching fireworks around Liverpool’s base.
The incredible display lit up the dark skies of Istanbul.
Yet the noise alone will have been enough to stop any Reds star from getting a decent night’s kip.
The colourful display is just a taste of what Liverpool should expect tonight.
The Turkish capital is famous for its passionate supporters, with the city divided up between fierce rivals Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas.

Gala fans are sure to make an even louder noise when they welcome Liverpool to Rams Park, with flares and tifos often deployed to produce an intimidating atmosphere.
Ozan Burak’s side are also sure to be confident of getting a result, having won all seven of their league matches this season.
Galatasaray have also lifted the last three Turkish titles after building a super squad.
Former Man City pair Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane will be among the stars on display, with ex-Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and former Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi providing the goal threat.
As for Liverpool, they are without Giovanni Leoni after the defender’s season-ending ACL injury.
However, Federico Chiesa has not travelled after being registered in Leoni’s stead.
The Italian came off the bench to net a late equaliser against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
But the Eagles managed to score an even later winner, with Liverpool now determined to bounce back from their first defeat of the campaign.

They are not passionate fans but fanatics and should be condemned as their team will equally visit another team at away, so how would they feel about that

When will this nonsense stop? Traveling teams not allowed to rest by the antics of home fans is primitive and must be stopped.

I think football authorities should establish a rule and impose a punishment for this behavior.
