Bülent Ünder subsequently took charge for the remainder of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaroš remained an important attacking figure, finishing as Galatasaray's leading scorer with 11 goals across all competitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn European competition, Galatasaray participated in UEFA Europa League qualifying, overcoming OFK Beograd before facing Ukrainian side Karpaty Lviv in the play-off round. Following a 2–2 draw in Istanbul, a 1–1 result in Ukraine saw Karpaty progress on away goals, ending Galatasaray's European campaign before the group stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe season also marked a historic transition away from the Ali Sami Yen Stadium, which had served as the club's home for almost five decades. Galatasaray played their first competitive match at the new Türk Telekom Arena in January 2011, beginning a new chapter in the club's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the campaign ended without silverware, the stadium move represented an important milestone for Galatasaray and their supporters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by adidas, the 2010\/11 Galatasaray third shirt featured a distinctive salmon-pink colourway with contrasting black detailing around the crew-neck collar, shoulders and side panels. Based on adidas' Condivo template, the design incorporated a subtle tonal lion graphic, black three-stripe detailing, the Galatasaray crest and Türk Telekom sponsor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorn by players including Arda Turan, Harry Kewell and Milan Baroš during a transitional campaign, the shirt became associated with the club's historic move from the Ali Sami Yen Stadium to the Türk Telekom Arena.
