Türkiye’s Fenerbahce progressed to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League after eliminating Lugano in the second qualifying round.
The Turkish representative will face Lille in the third qualifying round.
They must win to advance to the play-off round and a spot in the Champions League group stage.
Fenerbahçe’s victories against Lugano, with scores of 4-3 and 2-1, also positively impacted the country’s UEFA coefficient.
Following these two matches, Türkiye’s coefficient reached 34.400, solidifying its position at 9th place.
If it weren’t for Szymanski’s goal and the team had drawn, the Czech Republic would have overtaken us in the rankings.
