“SUCH A NUMBER OF CHANCES IN A DERBY IS RARELY SEEN”

Stating that he found Beşiktaş's performance below expectations, Dilmen expressed that the black-and-whites could join the race with transfers they will make next season. He also pointed out that Fenerbahçe has been playing more effectively, especially in the final stages of matches.
“IF GALATASARAY WINS, THEY ARE 70% CHAMPION”
