Turkish journalists paid little attention to "Dynamo”, since the game of the Ukrainian club did not impress anyone and left an unpleasant feeling of some incomprehensible mixture of helplessness and indifference to the final result. But the Turkish media praised Fenerbahce for a confident and spectacular victory over the Blue and White. And the main character of this match was recognized as 17-year-old Arda Güler, who scored a goal and provided an assist. Great hopes are placed on the talented player and he is considered the future star of Turkish football.
Hurriyet
“Is the Europa League important for Fenerbahce?” - A Hurriyet journalist is trying to understand if Georges Jesus is really telling the truth when he focuses on a successful performance in the Turkish championship and considers the Europa League a minor tournament? After all, he spoke similarly before the match with Dynamo, but the game itself showed that the victory is very important for Fenerbahce.
“George Jesus is an experienced coach. He does not want to put pressure on the team and immediately indicated that winning the Europa League is not a priority task for the club. It is much more important to win the Turkish Super League. We can agree with the Portuguese specialist, because the victory in the championship will allow Fenerbahce to try their hand at the Champions League again. But such a statement immediately after a confident victory over Dynamo, after the Istanbul club won the group and went straight to the 1/8 finals... It looks like a trick. This is a message to the players - forget about success in European competitions and return to Super League matches.
But at the same moment, Jorge Jesus said very right words: all Turkish clubs should do their best in European competitions so that in the future the Turkish champion could get into the Champions League group stage without qualification. And this suggests that Fenerbahce should also contribute to this task. And he can do it next year. In the meantime, you should forget about European competitions and think about success in the Super League."

“Recital of Arda Guler! Fenerbahce defeated Dynamo with the help of a 17-year-old star, ”Aksam website journalist praised the young talent of Fenerbahce, who pleased everyone in Turkey with his game (a goal and an assist) in the match with the Ukrainian club.
“The young star of Fenerbahce Arda Güler became the main architect of the victory in the match with Dynamo. The 17-year-old football player scored a goal and an assist. Thanks to a talented player, Fenerbahçe won 2-0 and secured first place in the group. To allow the Turkish club to immediately get into the 1/8 finals of the Europa League.
Güler scored his first goal in European competition and showed a T-shirt that read: "Mom, I love you very much", while Jorge Jesus greeted the 17-year-old very warmly when he was substituted. The Portuguese coach was pleased with Guler's bright game.
Fenerbahce deservedly finished in first place in the group. In each of the 6 group stage matches, Jorge Jesus' team scored at least two goals. In total, Fenerbahce scored 13 goals in 6 rounds. This is exactly what was expected from the Portuguese coach, who was able to create a bright attacking team that plays beautiful and productive football. Both in the Turkish Super League and in European competitions.”

Fenerbahce finishes in first place in the group, the Turkish club beat Dynamo without any problems, - Sabah journalist praises Jorge Jesus, who managed to outwit Mircea Lucescu and made everyone believe that for Fenerbahce the match with Dynamo is already does not mean anything.
“Having scored 14 points in 6 matches, Fenerbahce will finish in first place in the group with Rennes, Dynamo and AEK. The Ukrainians quite unexpectedly finished the group stage with one point and in last place, having failed to get a single victory in 6 rounds. But it is unlikely that anyone may have questions about how the places in this group were distributed.
Jorge Jesus made a tricky move before the game against Dynamo. The Portuguese specialist said that this match for Fenerbahce no longer means anything, so he would not be surprised if Dynamo win and please their fans. Mircea Lucescu also spoke about the importance of the victory, because in 5 rounds the Ukrainian club got only one point.
But the first minutes of the match showed that Jorge Jesus simply decided to outwit his opponent. Fenerbahce clearly intended to win and took this match very seriously. The Ukrainians again looked helpless and disappointed their fans. It is noteworthy that the main star of the match was the 17-year-old Arda Guler, whom the Ukrainians could not stop. The rising star of Fenerbahce took advantage of the Dynamo goalkeeper's mistake and opened the scoring in the match. Guler then helped Arao score. For young Arda, this is a big step into adult football. Now new achievements will be expected from him, although Jorge Jesus urges journalists and fans not to put too much pressure on the young player.
Ahead of Fenerbahce are the playoff matches of the Europa League. Despite the mixed start to the season, the team was able to pull themselves together, accept criticism and improve their game. As a result, we managed to reach the first place both in the Turkish Super League and in the Europa League.”
