Fenerbahce fans erupted in cheers as their team secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise in their UEFA Europa League opener! 🎉 Defender Caglar Soyuncu fired in a first-half stunner, followed by a late own goal from the Belgian side, sealing the win despite both teams finishing with 10 men. 🔥
New manager Jose Mourinho, no stranger to European glory (remember that 2017 Manchester United trophy? 👀), saw his squad shine despite a chaotic finale. Substitute Bright Osayi-Samuel and Union’s Kevin Mac Allister were both sent off, but Fenerbahce held firm. 💪
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur made a fiery return to Europe with a 3-0 win over Qarabag—even after Radu Dragusin’s early red card! Brennan Johnson continued his hot streak, proving Spurs’ resilience under Ange Postecoglou. 🚀 Roma, however, stumbled with a late equalizer against Athletic Bilbao, adding pressure after their recent coaching shakeup. 😬
⚡️ The takeaway? This Europa League season is already delivering drama, red cards, and Mourinho magic. Who’s ready for more? 🌍⚽
