All of our teams have gone through many stages to get here. Especially Galatasaray, which became the European champion in 2000, played very difficult matches that year. HERE..
• Galatasaray matched with Italian team AC Milan, English representative Chelsea, and German team Hertha BSC in Group A. In the Champions League, they became 3rd in this group with 2 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw, and were relegated to the European league. They eliminated Bologna, another Italian team, in the last 32. In the last 16, the German giant Borussia Dortmund passed without conceding a goal.
2nd Quarter Final: • Galatasaray played against the Spanish team RCD Mallorca in the quarter-finals. • The first match ended with Galatasaray winning 4-1, and the rematch ended 2-1 in favor of Galatasaray. • Matched with English team Leeds United in the semi-finals. • The first match ended 2-0 in favor of Leeds United, but Galatasaray won 2-0 in the rematch and won the series on penalties and advanced to the final. These matches were among the rare matches in history where people died as a result of the fights between the fans. 4. Final:
• The final took place on May 17, 2000, in Copenhagen, where Galatasaray faced the English team Arsenal.
• The regular time and extra time ended 0-0. Galatasaray emerged victorious with a 4-1 score in the penalty shootout, securing their first UEFA Cup in history.
This achievement remains an unforgettable moment for Turkish football.
Although we did not mention it above, Trabzonspor, Başakşehir, Bursaspor and our other teams also have successes, though not as much. And separately, Kayserispor had the Intertoto Cup in 2006, which was the lower level European Cup of the period.
