Fenerbahçe beat Liverpool, Türkiye closed the gap! Defeat is imminent for the European giant

With the completion of the 4th week matches in the UEFA Champions League, the country points ranking has been reshaped. Competing in the most prestigious organization of European football at the club level, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe increased Türkiye's hopes of rising in the rankings with their critical victories.

WIN FROM FENERBAHÇE AFTER 18 YEARS

Fenerbahçe, which hosted Liverpool in the 4th week of the Champions League, had an unforgettable match in front of its fans. Defeating the English representative 3-2, the yellow-dark blue team experienced the joy of victory in the Giants League after 18 years. The victory against Liverpool, one of the strongest teams in Europe, was of great importance for Fenerbahçe's goals in the tournament, and also made a valuable contribution to Türkiye's UEFA country score.

After Galatasaray defeated Stuttgart 2-0 at home, Fenerbahçe left its mark on the week by winning 3-2 against the English giant Liverpool. Thus, Türkiye's two representatives in the Champions League finished the week with three points each.

CRITICAL VICTORY FROM GALATASARAY AGAINST STUTTGART

Our other representative in the Champions League, Galatasaray, also completed the 4th week without a loss. Hosting the German team Stuttgart at RAMS Park, the yellow-reds defeated their opponent 2-0 with two goals scored by Aleksey Batrakov. Gaining its second consecutive victory, Galatasaray increased its points in the Champions League to 6. This result of the yellow-reds strengthened Türkiye's position in the race for country points.

THE NETHERLANDS LOST, WE ARE CLOSING THE DIFFERENCE

The Netherlands, one of Türkiye's closest targets in the UEFA country points rankings, could not get the results they wanted in the 4th week of the Champions League. Dutch representatives PSV and Feyenoord lost their matches. The Netherlands experienced two defeats in a week in which Türkiye finished with two wins, which reduced the points difference between the two countries.

In the updated rankings, the Netherlands ranked 8th with 55,395 points, while Türkiye maintained its place in the 9th place with 53,075 points. The decrease in the difference between the two countries to 2,320 points further increased the importance of the European cup matches to be played in the coming weeks.

OUR TARGET IS 8TH PLACE

The fact that the results obtained in the European cups are decisive on the number of representatives in the coming seasons and the participation stages in the tournaments makes the race for UEFA country points even more important. While Türkiye strengthens its position in the 9th place, it aims to catch up with the Netherlands, which is in the next step. The victories of Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe in the Champions League strengthened Türkiye's hand in this race.
