“UNION HEADS TO ISTANBUL HELL”
HLN: “Union Saint-Gilloise is heading to Istanbul hell, meeting Michy Batshuayi and Fenerbahce. The Brussels team will face a top Turkish club, meaning a hellish atmosphere and numerous big names. Edin Dzeko, captain and goal king. Michy Batshuayi, usually a substitute, gets a chance on the European stage. Dusan Tadic creates danger from the left. Other strong players include Sebastian Szymanski, Cengiz Ünder, and Dominik Livakovic. Leonardo Bonucci often sits on the bench. This shows the quality of Fenerbahçe.”
“A BEAUTIFUL YET CHALLENGING MATCHUP”
De Morgen: “Union Saint-Gilloise drew a less advantageous pairing compared to Brugge. They will face Michy Batshuayi and Fenerbahce. A beautiful yet challenging matchup for the Brussels team.
