Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho said after the match, "Yusuf Akçiçek is not a surprise for me. Despite being only 18 years old, he is very professional. He is one of the first to arrive at training and one of the last to leave. I didn't want to throw him into the lions' den by playing him as a left-back. Poor Seba on the left wing had to play a bit selflessly and helped the team a lot. Yusuf is a player with great potential."
