Fenerbahçe, which will host Liverpool tomorrow in the 4th week of the UEFA Champions League, will play its 25th match against English teams.
Fenerbahçe has previously faced English teams in 24 official matches. The yellow-dark blue team achieved 6 wins in these matches, leaving 4 with draws. British teams, on the other hand, had the upper hand against Fenerbahçe in 14 matches.

Fenerbahçe faced English teams for the first time in the 1968-1969 season. The yellow-dark blue team, which was paired with Manchester City in the UEFA Champion Clubs' Cup, as it was known at the time, left the away match with a 0-0 draw and won 2-1 at home to qualify.
In the 1977-1978 season, the yellow-dark blue team played with Aston Villa in the UEFA Cup, as it was known then, and was eliminated by losing both matches. Fenerbahçe, who faced Arsenal in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in the 1979-1980 season, said goodbye to the organization by losing 2-0 away and drawing 0-0 at home.
After the Arsenal match, Fenerbahçe did not face English teams for 16 seasons.
Historic win away from Manchester United
The yellow-dark blue team, which was in the same group with Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League in the 1996-1997 season, achieved a historic victory.
Fenerbahçe lost the first match against its opponent 2-0 at home and won the away match. Leaving the field with a 1-0 victory with Elvir Bolic's goal, the yellow-dark blue team became the team that ended Manchester United's 40-year unbeaten streak in European cups.
Fenerbahçe played against Manchester United again in the UEFA Champions League in the 2004-2005 season. Having lost the group match 6-2 away, the yellow-dark blue team won the match played in Kadıköy 3-0 with Tuncay Şanlı's "hat-trick" performance.
Eliminated by Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League
Fenerbahçe achieved its most successful performance in the UEFA Champions League in the 2007-2008 season under the management of coach Arthur Zico.
After leaving the group in the said season, the yellow-dark blue team beat the Spanish team Sevilla with a penalty shootout and reached the quarter-finals, and faced the English team Chelsea in this round. Fenerbahçe beat its opponent 2-1 at home and said goodbye to the organization by losing 2-0 on the road.
Fenerbahçe lost 5-2 at home to Arsenal, with whom it was paired in the UEFA Champions League in the 2008-2009 season, and drew 0-0 away.
Fenerbahçe, which faced Arsenal once again in the UEFA Champions League play-off match in the 2013-2014 season, lost the first match 3-0 at home and the second match 2-0 away.
The yellow-dark blue team lost 6-0 away to Aston Villa, which they last faced in the league stage this season.
First appointment with Liverpool
Fenerbahçe, which has faced many English teams before in its history, will face Liverpool for the first time.
The yellow-dark blue team had previously competed against English teams Manchester City, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.
Last date with the British ended badly
Fenerbahçe was very disappointed in the last match it played against English teams.
The yellow-dark blue team, who played away against Aston Villa in the league stage of the UEFA Champions League this season, left the field with a 6-0 defeat.
