Daily Telegraph: "Derbies between the 'Black Eagles' of Besiktas and Galatasaray are known to be volatile, though the 45,000-capacity Inonu Stadium, set in a green and prosperous part of Istanbul, has been described by Pele as 'one of the most beautiful football grounds in the world'."
Daily Telegraph: "The Inonu Stadium, once described by Pele as the most beautiful in Europe, was a less than comfortable environment for Tottenham as soon as Besiktas' devoted fans found their voices."
