fans, Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight, were brutally stabbed in Istanbul. The Turkish FA allowed the game to go ahead that night, Galatasaray won 2-0.

Outside the ground saw running battles between police and fans and there were attacks on Turkish TV crews, the game saw Harry Kewell sent off and a 2-2 score was enough for Galatasaray, as they went through to the final. It is down to these events that the rivalry between turkish and english clubs exist. Violence also occured between Galatasaray and Arsenal fans before the Final in Copenhagen and there has been no love lost between the two nationalities in both domestic team and international team meetings since.
