The Turks have come! Before 17:00, several hundred Fenerbahce supporters were already in the Old Center, where they spent several hours on the terraces in the area, under the watchful eye of the gendarmes. Fans of the Istanbul team consumed drinks, smoked hookahs and chanted against rivals Galatasaray.
The atmosphere became even more animated when the Turkish fans noticed the presence of the Romanian reporters. They rose from their tables and sang the choruses of the gallery with even more pathos. The owners of the terraces took advantage of the opportunity and played Turkish music, while some fans sold scarves dedicated to the match, at the price of 10 euros.
A few hours later, because of the cold, Fenerbahce's supporters gave up moving in column to the stadium and chose public transport from Bucharest.
Approximately 1,000 supporters boarded the trolleybuses provided. There were also tense moments after some of the fans started clapping on the windows. The gendarmes intervened to calm the situation and prevent the destruction of property.
The first Fener fans entered the National Arena at 19:30.
