Dirk Kuyt pulled it off

In the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League, Fenerbahçe beat Liverpool 3-2 at home. Despite falling behind twice in the match, Fenerbahçe turned the score around and secured a historic victory.

Uğur Meleke wrote that this season Fenerbahçe have mostly left the pitch with their heads held high in matches where they were not under pressure to win. Ömer Üründül noted that Dirk Kuyt made the right choice in his team setup, and said that playing İsmail alongside Guendouzi and Kanté was the right call in his view. Üründül also said that Kuyt's in-match changes were on point.

Engin Verel said he had not watched a Fenerbahçe side this eager, determined and football-focused in a long time. Verel noted that Liverpool did not start with their ideal line-up, yet Fenerbahçe still turned around a match in which they had fallen behind. Verel said this victory would encourage Fenerbahçe in their push to advance to the next round of the Champions League and could help repair the confidence that had been shaken recently.
