Liverpool Collapse to Champions League Defeat at Fenerbahce
Valverde’s stoppage-time strike preserved Real Madrid’s perfect start, while Liverpool’s 3-2 loss ended a three-match Champions League winning run.
- On Wednesday, November 4, 2026, Fenerbahce defeated Liverpool 3-2 in Istanbul, ending the English club's 100% Champions League record. The Turkish club secured their first competition victory of the campaign.
- Interim manager Dirk Kuyt led Fenerbahce in his final match against his former club. The hosts entered the fixture struggling domestically, sitting sixth in the Super Lig and winless in their opening three European matches.
- Midfielder Trey Nyoni opened the scoring in the 25th minute, but goals from forward Mason Greenwood, defender Archie Brown, and striker Vedat Muriqi secured Fenerbahce's turnaround. Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola blamed the defeat on defensive errors during three set-piece situations.
- The loss dropped Liverpool to fifth in the Champions League table with nine points, complicating their path to a top-eight finish. Fenerbahce climbed to 19th place, gaining crucial momentum after a difficult start.
- Liverpool's recurring struggles in Turkey extend beyond this match; the team has lost three consecutive away games against Turkish opposition. The Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in Istanbul remains a particularly challenging environment for the English side in future competitions.
