Muslera who one of the legendary players of Galatasaray and the Turkish Super League, was due to end his contract at the end of the season. Muslera who has been playing for the Galatasaray for 13 years, won 16 titles such as six Turkish Super Lig titles, four Turkish Cups and six Turkish Super Cups. Galatasaray renew contracts of 5 players. Uruguay's Muslera, Lucas Torreira, Turkish players Abdulkerim Bardakci, Kaan Ayhan, Baris Alper Yilmaz sign to paper. All these players at the ceremony helped Galatasaray win the Turkish Super Lig title last season.

Feels bad as a Fener fan because I've always had good impression about this team but like you said , Kartal is not a great coach or Fener is just too big of a club for this coaching skills. However , they still have a slight chance to become champions as long as they won't lose next games and especially the one from tomorrow against Sivasspor.

Istanbulspor missed a penalty in the last minutes of the first half. If they had gone 2-0 up, maybe they could have won this match. But I don't think anything would have changed if they had won this match. They have played badly all season. They collected only 16 points this season. With this performance, they don't deserve to stay in the league.

I think your criticism of Istanbul teams is not correct. The deserving teams should go to the Super League. Anatolian teams cannot get to the Super League because they are badly managed. Also, there will be one more Istanbul team in the league this season. Eyüpspor will be in the Super League next season.

There will be basically nothing but the title race from here on out, and that's going to make things a lot more stressful for both teams. I am not going to bet anymore, I have made good amount of money from this league, because it was obvious after first few weeks that these two clubs will win almost every game and that is what happened and I made a good chunk of profit from betting on them, I am not sure if they lost points in two games in a row, maybe not, so it was definitely easy.

But from here on out, stress for players and staff and even the fans will be super high, so I do not think that anyone should look at them as the way to go, I think it is not going to be easy and we are going to probably end up with a bad result unexpectedly by one of the teams.

İstanbulspor became the first team to be relegated from the league. The number of İstanbul teams had increased recently. These teams don't even have fans but they play in the Super League. It was good that İstanbulspor was relegated. Pendikspor is next. We want to see more Anatolian clubs in the Super League. There are deep-rooted Anatolian clubs with a lot of fans and culture that are not in the Super League. They need to be promoted to the Super League again. Having half of the teams in the league in İstanbul doesn't help anyone. It only provides a fixture advantage for the big three, they just travel less.

This is better statement regarding win of the Besiktas because they were playing at home against Ankaragucu which is having worst ever record in last 10 away games with just one win and conceding too many goals as well now with this win things are looking better for them because their difference of points is increasing from fifth spot team Rizespor and also having some pressure on Trabzonspor which is going to play Kayserispor which is also having not good result in last few games and this win can give Trabzonspor a good chance for staying at third spot.

Now we are going to have good competition for the third spot while we are having Besiktas on good run which was needed, but things were not favourable but change of strategy working for them, and they have better results.

They have indeed shown good performance and today won over Ankaragucu with score of 2 - 0, but this victory was not very satisfying because Ankaragucu is not team that can be classified as one of the strong ones.
With this victory, Besiktas has the opportunity to overtake Trabzonspor who are in 3rd place because now the difference they have is 1 point.
Hopefully in today match Trabzonspor vs Kayserispor there will be draw or surprise result that will result in Trabzonspor losing, that way Besiktas chances will be really big.

It just that if I say that Besiktas is stable team then I don't admit it because they still show several times less good results such as draws when Besiktas clearly has the advantage.
They must be able to really optimize their performance at all times so that they can continue to consistently have good quality.

I can't say they played very well for Beşiktaş, but they played and won.
The win they got tonight was good for Beşiktaş, because if they had lost points tonight, they could have fallen behind in the rankings.

Muchi bombs whenever he gets the chance. He scored a good goal again, there needs to be more of this. Muleka also scored a header goal. We know his quality, his only problem is that he has no continuity. I hope he finds himself and his performance improves. Muçi, Gedson (Demir Ege), Al Musrati midfield looks solid. They need to play together more and memorize each others play. The transition game should be done faster. Wingers should be more productive. There's a lot of work to be done. Let's celebrate the beautiful victory today. We always beat Ankaragücü and it's very enjoyable.

In fact, it is more difficult for them to continue in the league. Fenerbahçe has a point difference and they do not have a better game than Galatasaray in the league. I must also say that İsmail Kartal really did harm for this team. If yesterday's match had been won, many things would have been forgotten, but unfortunately they could not achieve success. I think they will continue to lose in the Turkish league, while the situation is like this in the Europa League. But as you said, at least now the players will be better rested, maybe this will make a serious difference, who knows, if İsmail Kartal reconsiders his preferences, he can change things with a new game plan. Fenerbahçe was eliminated in the Olmypiakos match due to bad choices. Why would you take Fred out of the game, a player who has a very good command of the midfield.

With a strong game and a return to the old settings, Beşiktaş won again. It means that no matter how much of a career you have as a manager, if you are not in tune with the genes of the team you come from, you cannot be successful. We saw this with Santos, Beşiktaş wasted time and money. Beşiktaş is having a very successful period with Serdar Topraktepe. I don't know who will come in the new season, but I was happy to see winner Beşiktaş again after a long time.

I think losing at conference league allows fenerbahce to focus more towards the league, which means that they will end up (or they should) with more wins during the league. There aren't that many games left anyway, so they do not have cup, Europe or anything else, all they have left is the league games and they could possibly focus a lot more on that right now.

I think that has to be the most important part of the situation. Thinking how much they could have won or something like that and regretting the past will not bring anything back, so the fact that they are going to just play the league games alone should be the thing the players and the management should focus on. If they win every game, they are champions, that's all that matters.

We were the superior side throughout the match but we were eliminated at the end of the penalties. We went to the final of the Turkish cup with our U19 team to protest against the Turkish football federation and we were eliminated. We have been eliminated from all cups and now we only have the league championship target. If we don't win the league championship at the end of the season, we will end the season with a big failure. If we don't become champions, I think Fenerbahçe club president Ali Koç and Fenerbahçe coach İsmail Kartal will have to make some important decisions at the end of the season. They should say it can't get any worse and think about resigning then.

I think this year's champion was announced tonight. Fenerbahçe lost and this will continue.
They presented a cup to Galatasaray again. Congratulations in advance, thank you Fenerbahçe.
Fenerbahçe cannot achieve success as long as İsmail Kartal is in this team.

Galatasaray and Fernabache are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain. In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They play to win, and their next league game would hopefully end up as a victory for them.

 After being able to beat Alanyaspor who were their host yesterday, it only proves to the team in general that they are and should still be highly rated as a top priority team. They've had games in past that have put them at difficult spots but one way or the other they've bounced back. For the defeated team, the host advantage didn't just work well for them sadly. Maybe they'll have another better luck in their next game but I guess so far the Turkish League is one that will take long till it's winners are decided. It just seems like all the teams in the league are performing at thesame tempo which has caused the table to be difficult to decide.

 At the moment, Galatasaray are toppest on the table and the season is going to last up until 5 weeks later. Now you'd ask if the top team would stay put in their right performance till the end or it'll get sloppy for them. For me, I believe they've got what it takes to stay on top and yes the few more games left no matter the intensity in it, I doubt that Galatasaray would get defeated in any, rather it'll be an unbeaten stride for them till the end of the season.

Actually, the strength of the big teams that are at the top of the current super lig standings is very evenly distributed so we can say if this season will be different from the previous season, the super lig championship competition so far has not been dominated by a team so it will be quite surprising for us if this season galatasaray can win the super lig champion and make them win consecutive trophies after the previous season they can win it too,  But I don't think it's 100% what we can believe because after all, Fenerbache at this time will not want to waste their chance to win after last winning in 203/14.

Financially like the Galatasaray and Fenerbache teams I think are fine for now because they do have strong sponsors behind them, while for other teams maybe yes quite relevant if there will indeed be a decrease in transfers that occur due to their limited money, for now I want to see the decision that Fenerbache continues to say to the media about them leaving the Turkish League due to an incident some time ago,  So I'm quite curious if they will seriously quit the Turkish League or is it just a bluff?

You are very right about this, I think we have not seen 2 teams collecting so many points for many years. There is very little time left for the league to end, but the number of defeats of the 1st and 2nd team is still only 1. The team that loses points from this date on will have a huge disadvantage.
I do not think that Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray will be protected so much by the federation next season

Besiktas this season is quite down and even they now have to be willing to be in the 4th rank and have the opportunity only to compete in the conference league zone next season, from season to season Besiktas' performance continues to decline in performance and I think it will be very difficult for them to be able to repeat their fantastic story of winning the Super Lig champion in 2021,  Sergen Yalcin at that time managed to bring besiktas to win the super lig after competing fiercely with galatasaray and fenerbache at that time and actually the achievement of besiktas in 2021 was the result of Sergen Yalkin's hard work which was able to lift Besiktas' performance after last winning the super lig champion in 2017.

Currently Sergen Yalcin trained antalyaspor but unfortunately antalyaspor's achievements are much worse at this time because they are in the 13th rank at the moment, what you said is true, inevitably besiktas must strengthen their squad next season if they want to be championship contenders, because otherwise of course besiktas will always lag behind galatasaray and fenerbache which are now inhabited by former European players.

This has been the case for a long time, the champion team is in decline. Back-to-back championships are rare. Also, returning from European cups with a fiasco has become a very common occurrence. The champion team's motivation decreases instead of being further promoted. We all know very well that Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray will not be able to collect this many points next season. This season was a big exception. It's still unclear who will be the champion, but whoever cannot become the champion will experience a huge morale collapse for this year. In financial terms, even if these teams are in debt, it's not a problem for them.

There is no guarantee for success of course, I agree. The success he achieved in the 2020/2021 season with that squad was really impressive though. But in next season Beşiktaş started really badly in the Super League and Champions League both. But maybe a similar scenario might happen again and Beşiktaş might be in the title race in his 1st year.

However Beşiktaş should prepare their transfer policy really carefully this summer. The current squad quality isn't good enough. Muci and Al-Musrati are really good transfers but this isn't enough. It is really difficult to keep up with those really strong Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe squads.
