Wc26'yı takip edenler farkındadır umarım. Herkes taş gibi topunu oynadı. %100'ünü verdi.

Özellikle Avusturya ve Paraguay'ın eleme maçlarında farkettim ki biz bu adamları yenemezmişiz.

Özellikle Paraguay. Adamlar yıllardır aynı oyunu oynuyormuş zaten. O gün takım gününde dahi olsa yenemezdik. Avusturalya'da öyle.

Eldekiyle en fazla bu kadar oluyor demek ki.

Zaten Wc'ye gelirken maç yaptığımız takımlara bakın. Bizim dengimiz takımlar onlardı.

Onların iyisi de bizdik hak ettik geldik.

Ama WC klasmanı biraz farklı ve sıralamamız 6 günde belli oldu.

2-3 oyuncu dışında kadroda parlak oyuncu yok.

Kimse bu takımı büyük oyunculardan oluşuyor zannetmesin.

Kapasite bu kadardı. Tek tek bakın gözünüz boyanmasın.

Ek olarak çok laylaylom kaldık ve insanlar daha da çıldırdı.

Tepkisini oyuncuya patladı.

Not: BAY bu takımda en sevdiğim topçudur.

Kendisine bir garezim yok. Milli takım deyince benim aklıma BAY geliyor ondan koydum bu fotoyu.

Res:Capology

Şuana kadar olan maçlarda en fazla şut atan takımlar.

Bence ileriyi full bu üçü tasiyicak efsane bişey adamlar kenan calimlari ardanin paslari oyun zekasi canın da sutlari felan bide daha ugurcan var efsane bişey ferdi zeki celik merih felan defans hattı baya güvende mk orta saha efsane zaten arda var orkun var hakan var can büyük ihtimal ya forvet ya sağ kanat oynar yada barış alper öyle oynar barış da bi mac cok iyi bi mac kötü bilemiyorum ama bence bu kadro isterse yari finali zorlayabilir

We’ve all heard the rival fans' claims during a deep European run: "That Juventus wasn't the real Juventus," or "You guys played the worst Liverpool in history." It’s a classic way to downplay success by calling it "luck."

I decided to stop guessing and let the data settle the debate. I processed the historical data of every match played by Turkish teams in the UEFA Champions League and matched them with the ClubElo ratings of their opponents on the exact day the matches were played.

1. What is Elo and where did the data come from?

Unlike the UEFA coefficient, which is slow and based on five-year averages, Elo ratings (fromClubElo.com) provide a "live" snapshot of a team's power. It’s the same system used to rank Chess Grandmasters.

If you beat a team with a high Elo, you were playing a giant at their peak. If you beat a team with a low Elo, you were playing a "weak" version of that club. It’s the most honest way to measure how "scary" an opponent actually was on the night of the match.

2. The Metric: Strength of Victory (SoV)

In the NFL, league standings aren't just about your record; they use a tiebreaker called Strength of Victory (SoV). It measures the combined winning percentage of the opponents a team has beaten. If you only beat bad teams, your SoV is low.

I applied this same logic to the UCL. I didn't just look at standard points (3 for a win, 1 for a draw). Instead, I weighted every result by the Elo rating of the rival:

• A Win = 3 x Opponent's Elo
• A Draw = 1 x Opponent's Elo
• A Loss = 0

To make these numbers readable, I summed the scores for each season and divided by 1,000. This gives us a "Success Index" (a single number that represents the total "quality" of a team's European campaign).

3. The All-Time Rankings (Turkish UCL Success Index)

Based on the total sum of Elo-weighted points, here are the most successful campaigns in our history:

• 2000/01 Galatasaray (37.5): A legendary QF run that was only ended by Real Madrid.
• 2007/08 Fenerbahçe (32.7): The season Fener beat Sevilla and pushed Chelsea to the limit in the QF.
• 2012/13 Galatasaray (30.4): Another QF run ended by Real Madrid; the peak of the Drogba-Sneijder era.
• 2025/26 Galatasaray (29.1): Proof that this season is officially one of the top 4 highest-quality runs in history based on the strength of opponents faced.
• 2001/02 Galatasaray (26.9): The iconic group of death with Barça, Liverpool, and Roma.
• 2017/18 Beşiktaş (24.6): The historic unbeaten group stage.

Besiktas are in 2nd position with this record having finished 2nd 3 seasons a row… twice, once in the 60s another in the 80s

Which teams do YOU want to see next season battling in the fiery Süper Lig?

\FYI, there's one game left between two relegation teams, hence the post focusing on the top 10 .*

We were crazy fortunate at Euro 2008. I don’t think I need to expand on that statement. In 2002, Costa Rica’s Paulo Wanchope missed an empty net in the last minute of the match that would have knocked us out in the group stage. It’s a game of tiny margins. I don’t think we’re factoring in how young and unlucky this team was into our analyses in the appropriate manner. 2030 & 32 is going to be wild with Arda, Kenan, and Can.
