Fenerbahçe faces Sturm Graz in Champions League qualifier

Fenerbahçe faces Sturm Graz in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. Following a 2-0 victory in the first leg in Istanbul, where Talisca and Mason Greenwood scored, the Turkish side holds a significant advantage.

Fenerbahçe manager Ismail Kartal stated that the team aims to play their own game to secure advancement rather than simply defending the lead. The squad is managing the absence of Jayden Oosterwolde due to injury, though Kartal expressed confidence in the team's depth.

Sturm Graz coach Fabio Ingolitsch noted the team's demanding schedule but emphasized that anything is possible if they can score early. The match will be held at the Liebenau Stadium in Graz. If Fenerbahçe advances, they will move to the play-off round to face either Olympique Lyon or Sparta Prague.
