Is it possible that a loss or tie doesn't matter and we should go for all 3 points?

Gala will probably win vs. FCK and lose to Real Madrid. Gives them 7 points before they play us.
We will probably win vs. FCK which gives us 5 points. If we tie today, it gives us 6 before we play Gala.

Which means we'd still need to win in Turkey.

No point tying right?
You are actually right. Hadn't thought about it. +rep
The only exception I can think of would be that we can draw FC København at home instead of beating them to get the second place. This of course also require that Gala lose to both us and Real Madrid. I'm assuming that Gala will beat FCK.

Loss or draw might make a difference only if Gala fail to win tonight. If they win, then you're absolutely right and a draw vs Real tonight is the same as a defeat. We'll have to beat Gala in Istanbul in both cases.

Beating Real tonight is important for another reason. If we beat them, they will need to play against Gala for a point or 3 points, instead of simply letting the Turks win in Madrid. My fear is that if we don't beat Real tonight, or even worse - if we lose, they really won't have anything to play for in the next round and they might let Galatasaray win. In such case our match in Istanbul will be irrelevant because we'll be eliminated in round 5 already.
