Speaking after the match, Okan Buruk made remarks targeting Jose Mourinho, who had previously said, "I wasn't watching the Süper Lig until I came here because it wasn't broadcast. Why would they watch such a league anyway?" Here are the details...

In the fourth week of the UEFA Europa League, our representative Galatasaray defeated Tottenham 3-2 at home.

With this victory, the Yellow-Reds finished the week in 3rd place with 10 points.

Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk made striking statements after the win. Buruk's target was Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho, who has been at the center of attention following his comments after the Trabzonspor match.

''WE ACHIEVED MORE THAN JUST A VICTORY''

Evaluating the win, Okan Buruk said; ''We started with a bold decision today. With the bye week, we had a chance to prepare for 10 days. We matched up very well within the game. We achieved more than just a victory. When the opponent was reduced to 10 men, they had trouble with the matchups. They found a goal in the only position they reached in the second half. They scored 2 goals from a total of 4-5 shots. We matched the statistics Tottenham provided with everything we did.''

''IT WAS THE BEST PRESS APPLIED TO AN ENGLISH TEAM IN TURKISH FOOTBALL HISTORY''

Buruk continued his words as follows:

''I am proud of my players and the Galatasaray fans. We applied the pressure on the opponent together. It was the best pressure a team has applied to an English team in the history of Turkish football.

''ICARDI HAD AN INJURY''

''We could have reached 7-8 goals in the second half. There was fatigue. We substituted Mertens. Afterwards, we wanted to take Osimhen out. Mauro had an injury. We should have scored the 4th goal. It is an important night for the history of Turkish football.''

"WE SHOWED THE QUALITY OF TURKISH FOOTBALL TO EVERYONE"

Making a reference to the expressions used by Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho after the Trabzonspor match, Buruk said, ''When we look at the insults directed at Turkish football, we showed the quality of Turkish football to everyone. Beşiktaş won yesterday, they beat Lyon in the previous match. We cannot forget the success of Turkish teams. Sometimes we belittle ourselves too much. We want to dedicate this to the Turkish people. We need to do our job well; we need to talk on the pitch, not off the pitch.''
