Fenerbahce and Galatasaray Capitulate/ Ten Goals in Two Nights! Turkish Football Hit Hard

Conceding ten goals over two nights was a very bitter experience for Turkey's wealthy football clubs in the Champions League.

According to "Varzesh Se", the total value of Turkish Super League players has reached 1.7 billion euros, and the four big powers of this football, namely Fenerbahçe, Besiktas, Gattasaray and Trabzonspor, spent more than 400 million euros in the summer transfer season.

Exactly 427 million euros were invested in the purchase of new players, of which the four biggest clubs accounted for 329.7 million euros, which is 77.3% of the total expenses of the eighteen clubs in the league. Meanwhile, big stars such as Mohamed Salah, Fabinho and Malinovski joined Trabzonspor for free and Vlahovic went to Besiktas.

However, in the European Champions League, the situation is completely different, and the deep difference between the level of Turkish football and the giants of the green continent was revealed. The second week of these competitions showed the position of Turkish representatives among the elites of Europe.

Galatasaray, which lost to Sporting Lisbon 1-3 in the first week, hosted Barcelona this week. Galatasaray's students ended the first half with a 1-1 draw, but they had no chance against Barcelona in the second half and lost 1-4. The presence of stars such as Osiman, Raphael Liao and Sane could not prevent this defeat, and Osiman was completely blocked by Gerard Martin.

The conditions for Fenerbahçe were even more difficult. This team, which had drawn 1-1 at home against Rome in the first week, was defeated by Aston Villa with a heavy result of 0-6 in Birmingham. Fenerbahçe couldn't resist by using players like Ederson, Ashkriniar, Ake and Greenwood, and Irfan Jan Kavechi completely failed in the battle with Barkley.

In this way, two famous representatives of Turkish football suffered ten goals in one week of the European Champions League. Although both teams will face easier matches in the third week; Fenerbahçe will host Slavia Prague at home and Galatasaray will play in Lille.
