Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[Black Mbaye]

Okan Buruk must surely be satisfied with the result. Maybe they conceded that equalizer in the last minutes which must be really annoying. But there is nothing to do. At least they got 1 point in such a tough match and kept their lead. 

By the way the referee was like a joke. How wasn't Skriniar given a red card for his challenge with Sara there? He didn't even call a foul for that! Just ridiculous. This kind of referees don't deserve to manage any match.

Galatasaray has players like Osimhen, Sane, Barış. These guys are really hard to stop. They have high level players like ilkay and sara who can feed them great passes. I think the fact that Galatasaray couldn’t find any counter attack opportunities in this match is disappointing.

It came off really disheartening that even with the squad they have got, they literally could not get three points from this game, sadly it had to even look like they struggled at some point, I really did wished to see them do much better but sadly, the most they could do was the best we saw from them in that game, optimism is what is left to hold of them in the near future.

In fact, we can say they fielded a strong squad. Galatasaray's Osimhen, who had returned from injury, was also in good form. However, they were unable to effectively attack. Osimhen tried to fight on his own, but being left alone proved ineffective. Galatasaray faces very difficult opponents in the remaining three Champions League matches. Playing like this, their chances of success in the Champions League are slim. Having already dropped three points in their last match, they can't afford to drop any more points.

Fenerbahçe's attack is truly disastrous. Their shots may have been high, but the result was disastrous. It's clear there's a problem in the penalty area. This team needs to reinforce both their strikers and their creative midfield during the break. Otherwise, it's very difficult for them to hold on to the final.

For Galatasaray, a draw isn't a bad result. Recovering from a lead away against an in-form opponent is considered an advantage. But fans will still be watching the Samsunspor match; dropping points in such matches can easily take away their lead. The league's top spot is truly subject to change from week to week this season.

In short, the match result was "just right" for both sides, but the play was unsatisfactory for neither. A fierce competition awaits us for the rest of the season.

I agree. The reason Fenerbahçe fans celebrated this draw more than Galatasaray fans is because they had already accepted that they lost the match and that the point gap had increased to 4. In terms of player quality, especially in the striker and winger positions, Galatasaray had the advantage. But considering the match played, result was fair.

I was also surprised with the drastic change in Fenerbahçe's attacking organizations and efficiency. They looked great for weeks in the league as we have all seen. They scored 16 goals in last 4 matches. But they barely scored a goal in the derby in the final moments.

Tedesco was nearly joining Mourinho about losing the derbies. He really needs to do more than this in special matches. This was an important chance missed for them about capturing the 1st place.

I didn't understand why he preferred long ball from Ederson to Kerem so often despite seeing its not working for example.

[Emitdama]

There were numerous refereeing errors in the derby. Double standards were consistently applied by the referees. There were many decisions that were made and not made, and this was discussed on Bein Sports screens at the end of the day. It was a match that was set to be high-scoring for both sides. While Fenerbahçe had around two players who deserved red cards, Fenerbahçe's goal and penalty were not awarded. We could debate this from morning till night, but since we cannot change anything, we would only end up upsetting each other. Therefore, rather than focusing on the referees' decisions, we need to discuss why these types of derby matches have turned from football spectacles into chaos.

Istanbul derby without error and referee mistakes is now dream of big clubs fans because these are now also part of game and create significant problems for teams facing as talked this big foul surely deserve red card but nothing happen and Galatasaray took advantage.

Fenerbahçe done good job have 1 point this is going to be interesting season for both clubs because still difference is one point and a lot of games are going to be played in remaining season Turkish Super League is suffering badly due to this biased referee's and quality is also questionable while they are playing in big competitions. Too much development needed as use of technology is also not working and still things are going as they want this is trouble hopefully someday they bring fair things this could be big change.

Playing like this, their chances of success in the Champions League are slim. Having already dropped three points in their last match, they can't afford to drop any more points.

Fenerbahce is also a quality team in the Turkish League, i consider the outcome of the game between both teams to be a fair one, only that Fenerbahce saw the equalizer after long minutes of playing and remain with extra time, while Galatasaray defended that goal since the first half, it seem like a lot of efforts from Galatasaray players went to waste.

Galatasaray success in the Champions League isn't what we place high hopes on, hopefully they can qualify to the next phase of the competition but to an extent we don't see Galatasaray getting there, having a great attack will not only save them, the difference will look terrible against other clubs with big games experience.

[CLS63]

Galatasaray once again have a tough match to play ahead. They play against Samsunspor this time but they have an advantage of playing at home as well. I know they have beaten Samsunspor every time they played. But I still hope they lose points.

Meanwhile I guess that we would manage to be the winner against Başakşehir away. I want to see a big improvement in our offensive performance this time. We had great goal statistics before the derby. We should come back to that form as soon as possible.

[jaberwock]

The amount of bad referee decisions in this game could be in the top list of games that are corrupted, I have seen a few other games that were similar, but this one is definitely in the top five without a doubt. Just a small statistics for the fans of it, for 40 minutes of the game one team got 11 fouls and the other got zero. Just ask yourself, when have you seen one team getting 10+ fouls while the other one got zero?

I mean just the fact that in 40 minutes the idea that Fenerbahce committed no fouls is already a joke enough. From Skriniars clear red to wrong handballs when the ball doesn't even touch the hand, we have seen the referee try his hardest to get Fenerbahce the win, and they still failed to get the win. This is how they beat smaller teams too.

In terms of player quality, especially in the striker and winger positions, Galatasaray had the advantage. But considering the match played, result was fair.

Another reason why Fenerbache fans celebrate the draw is because they know that Galatasaray is better than Fenerbache, Galatasaray was leading in the match and in 90 minutes Fenerbache equalised and that shows that they did not give up in the match, before the match, i stated that the match is going to be tough and both teams have not been good this season, Galatasaray fail to defeat some small teams and same as Fenerbache which make me believe that they will find it difficult to beat each other.

Fenerbache tried their best to make sure the game end draw because it will give them opportunity to get close to the Galatasaray in the league table, Turkish league teams are not that good this season and it is one of the reasons i don’t think both will go far in the European Competition because they show a sign of weakness in those competitions.

If only look at the match itself, Fenerbahce fans are quite satisfied after being behind 0-1 against Galatasaray and only managing to equalize during injury time at the 90+6 minute. However, in terms of the standings, it is clearly disappointing to play at home, where they should have won and overtaken Galatasaray to be at the top of the table. The reality is that their beloved team played poorly and almost lost this match.

As far as I can see, Fenerbahçe fans didn't celebrate the draw. On the contrary, they were disappointed that they let Galatasaray slip away. Neither team is playing good football. They aren't putting on a convincing performance to win the championship. The championship race will continue until the final weeks. Frankly, I was expecting a season like this after last year. Beşiktaş could've stood out among the teams that aren't playing well, but they too couldn't escape the chaos. Now Trabzonspor is putting up a bit of a fight, but we'll see if they can maintain it for whole season.

You're absolutely right in your comments. Fenerbahçe now plays in Kadıköy (Fenerbahçe's home ground) and they're happy to draw with Galatasaray.
They've been playing terrible, stagnant football, especially for the last 4-5 years. They're afraid in the first 15 minutes of a match, as if they were playing Barcelona or Real Madrid. There's no player who can pass the ball past the defense and forward. Those who do receive the ball either pass sideways or backward.
It wasn't like this before.

This has nothing to do with the manager. The same thing has happened with the last 4-5 managers. Galatasaray plays fearlessly when they come to Kadıköy.
Fenerbahçe needs to instill fear in their opponents first.

Both teams are doing good with their quality and consistency things are balanced but in this season few teams are also having good improvement this is encouragement because now it's time to have development and more teams to give challenges even still it needed time, but this is now important.

Trabzonspor and Samsunspor both are doing good, but they need to stay on this level with referee decisions also needed more transparency because without this nothing positive is going to happen in long run Besiktas currently at 6th spot chances are high they could be also improve and have good chance of jumping above, but their consistency is always had instability they needed to be had few good players for staying on good level.

The game slipped away from us. Despite disciplined play in the second half, we couldn't win. I actually expected another goal from Osimhen in this match, but the situation was different. After scoring the first goal, Okan Buruk pulled back on defense in the second half, and conceding a goal in extra time was unfortunate. This match is now behind us, and we need to drop points in the coming weeks. There's no point change, and Galatasaray remains the leader, only a one-point difference, and the lead could change at any time.

Your club missed the opportunity to top the Turkish table when they failed to take all three points from Galatasaray a few days ago. You shouldn't expect much from Victor Osimhen because he just recovered from injury, and he needs a little time to get fully back to his scoring ways. The point gap between your club and Galatasaray is slim, so if you club keeps the pressure on Galatasaray without dropping points, the chance to top the Turkish table will come.

Osimhen not playing at all would’ve actually been better, he had no impact on the game. Fenerbahçe fans think their goal should’ve counted, but the ball clearly hit the player hand in that moment.
I also didn’t understand fenerbahçe celebrating like that, as if they had won by a big margin.
Overall, both teams played poorly and I couldn’t really enjoy the match.

[LGD2Business]

Today, news about Everton Cebolinha came out. He's a left winger, but his scoring contribution is negligible. At Flamengo, he scored only 1 goal and made 3 assists in 23 games. If Beşiktaş sign him, the management would be making a huge mistake. The player is already 29 years old. If we sign him, we'll be his last club. We shouldn't take such a risk. Benfica paid 20 million Euro for him at the time and regretted it, selling him at a loss for 14 million Euro 2 seasons later. I hope the management doesn't make such a mistake.

Tedesco was nearly joining Mourinho about losing the derbies. He really needs to do more than this in special matches. This was an important chance missed for them about capturing the 1st place.

I didn't understand why he preferred long ball from Ederson to Kerem so often despite seeing its not working for example.

Not that shocking to those who watch this league. They have terrible offensive players, aside from maybe Asensio, rest of the team are terrible players with no talent. Don't get me wrong, their defense isn't like that, from Semedo to Skriniar to Alvarez helping the defense out, they have great defenders and that is why they are doing this great, if you have a good defense, all offense needs to do is keep trying more and more which results with a win eventually, and because their defense gets the ball, they give their offense more chance than any other teams offense, so of course offense gets a ton of shots, and eventually one of them gets in.

However, looking at their past results, they got very lucky few games in a row already, I am not sure if this will keep going for long, they may start to lose points now.

[letteredhub]

Okan Buruk must surely be satisfied with the result. Maybe they conceded that equalizer in the last minutes which must be really annoying. But there is nothing to do. At least they got 1 point in such a tough match and kept their lead. 

A draw in such a big game of this magnitude isn't a bad result and the coach should be thankful to his boys that it was the opponent that was doing the catch up and not his team, at least they got a point even without some key players in the squad who are out due to injury.

The most important thing is that Galatasaray will have to retain their lead at the top which is the most necessary thing for the team especially in this moment when some of the players are yet to recover or just came back after some injury troubles, it's now left for Galatasaray to start extending their lead by getting back to winning more games.

Galatasaray’s next match against samsunspor might be a win for galatasaray considering their advantages and your wish for them to lose point would not happen, I support galatasaray to win that match even tough samsunspor’s performance this season is really good they lost just one game and their last five games are either win or draws with two wins and three draws. This game might also be tough for galatasaray considering samsunspor form in their last five games but I trust galatasaray to win this match

When we look at their performance, we see that Galatasaray is much better. However, Galatasaray, a team that could have been leading the Champions League but lost its home game, may struggle against Samsunspor. Samsunspor is in really good form this year and gives its best against every team. They're competing at their best against some of Turkey's strongest teams. Now they'll be playing a match where the players can showcase their talents even more. Therefore, the players will be even more motivated going into the Galatasaray match. We'll see what they can do tomorrow, and I think Galatasaray will win.
