These two teams will face each other in the playoff round of the Champions League qualifying stage. The first match will take place in Istanbul.
According to coach Jose Mourinho, Benfica spent a significant amount of money to strengthen their squad during this transfer window, and playing against this team will be a serious test for Fenerbahce. He also emphasized that the return match in Lisbon will be a real test for his team.
