From our football correspondent Triumph

Match1 Apr 2028

Besiktas come from 2 down to beat Gaziantep

At 2 goals adrift this was a formality, and the formality lasted right up until it did not. Besiktas found something the first half had given no notice of, and Gaziantep could not hold what they had.

Match1 Apr 2028

13 unbeaten for Besiktas

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 13 matches without defeat is a foundation Besiktas did not have in the autumn.

Orkun Kökçü in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Besiktas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Defences have started doubling up on Orkun Kökçü

13 goals and a season average of 7.32 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match1 Apr 2028

Besiktas get the job done against Gaziantep

A 3‑2 win over Gaziantep, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Besiktas lose Kartal Cengizer

27 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Words at Besiktas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Frederik Ihler is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

One of those days for Orkun Kökçü

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.27, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Václav Černý in the eights

A performance of 8.17 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match4 Mar 2028

Nobody wants to play Besiktas right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Market6 Mar 2028

Orkun Kökçü wants more than Besiktas are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Amir Murillo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Amir Murillo and Besiktas agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Orkun Kökçü in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Besiktas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

Nothing got past Orkun Kökçü

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

One of those days for Junior Olaitan

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.88, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Kartal Cengizer out for 58 days

The medical room confirms 58 days on the sidelines for Kartal Cengizer, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match4 Mar 2028

Besiktas see off Umraniyespor

Three points for Besiktas, 1‑0 the final word against Umraniyespor in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Words at Besiktas training over how hard people work
