Why It Matters
Fenerbahçe won the right to participate in the Champions League after 18 years, and this victory created great excitement among the fans.
The victory of qualifying for the Champions League, which came after 18 years, must have excited the Fenerbahçe fans so much that the chorus of 50 thousand people did not remain silent throughout the match. Always support, full support. There could be no better ignition force for the team. However, Fenerbahçe on the field looked close to "non-existent" in terms of football, especially in the first 45 minutes. They neither exchanged passes properly nor did we see any shots on goal. Defense was very prominent. The team is experiencing a loss of strength after Talisca and Fred were sent away. You can understand this from the starting 11 against Rome. The Italian team played for sure, and 5 Fenerbahçe players could not intervene in the goal they scored. The Champions League cannot tolerate such carelessness. There was a team that played more collected and concentrated in the second half. The goal, scored by Archie Brown with his clever dribble, came at a very critical moment, and the Yellow-Navy Blue team came to life. Then, if Muriç had scored in a clear position across the face and Oğuz had not missed, it would have been a great night of victory. Still, the football played in the second half was befitting this level. What can we say, it's a shame...
