It will be so awks when we play from, say, 33rd minute, and just for 12 minutes or so, half time, and then resume the second half.
Anyway, it is upsetting but I don't think it's fair to blame this on Galatasaray's infrastructure. Sure the hail was predicted, but kick off had to start on time because nothing much was happening then. They then postponed it, 3 shovels or not, it kept pouring and the pitch was unfit/unplayable, which by the looks of it makes sense to me.
As for undersoil heating, no roof cover etc. - a team like Galatasaray or its stature should defo improve on their facilities, but what if an unknown/poor club had made it to the CL, who don't have the means to have these infrastructure, does that mean they shouldn't play at the high level then? It's not like as if the stadium would collapse anytime soon or in bad/worse ondition than those in Italy. It was just bad weather, there's room for improvement to deal with it definitely and hopefully the Turks take note, the referee made the right decision.
