The Istanbul club won the Süper Lig for the fourth consecutive time in the spring. They are also near the top of the table now, although they have already dropped points. The visitors from Germany managed to finish fourth in the Bundesliga. However, they are currently losing more often than they are winning.
The Turks made a poor start in the Champions League. First, they suffered a defeat away to Sporting in Lisbon. Then, after taking the lead against Barcelona, they completely collapsed and eventually lost heavily, 1-4. In the most recent round against Lille, they finally managed to win, with the match in France ending 4-2 in favor of the visitors.
The Germans, by contrast, made a confident start. First, they beat Viking at home, winning 3-1. Then, in October, they thrashed local side Slovan 3-0 in Bratislava. Against Atlético, a stronger opponent, they could only manage a 1-1 draw.
