Overview
- Fenerbahçe defeated Galatasaray 2-0 at Istanbul’s Atatürk Olympic Stadium on January 10 to claim the 2026 Turkish Super Cup.
- Three days after signing, Matteo Guendouzi started and opened the scoring with a 28th‑minute strike from outside the box following a corner.
- Jayden Oosterwolde added a second in the 48th minute, and Guendouzi completed the full match and was named man of the match.
- The 26-year-old joined on a four-and-a-half-year contract for a reported €30 million including bonuses and marked a fifth national league after spells with Lorient and OM, Arsenal, Hertha Berlin and Lazio.
- Capped 14 times by France but absent from recent qualifiers, he drew attention for a pointed celebration toward Galatasaray fans, and potential Europa League progress could enhance his visibility ahead of the tournament.
