New head coach Arda Turan has made an instant impact, with his side showcasing ruthless attacking football. Brazilian duo Kevin and Eguinaldo shone in the first leg, combining for three goals and three assists.

Besiktas, meanwhile, face an uphill battle. Tammy Abraham’s penalty offered some hope, but injuries to Abraham and Orkun Kokcu have left them vulnerable. With defensive frailties exposed, chasing the game could see them punished again.
