Wilfred Ndidi questions officiating in Beşiktaş’ Istanbul derby defeat
Beşiktaş vice-captain Wilfred Ndidi has questioned the quality of officiating following his side’s narrow defeat to Istanbul rivals Fenerbahçe.
Beşiktaş lost the Istanbul derby 1-0 to the hosts at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on Sunday in a tense Süper Lig Matchday 28 encounter.
The game turned on a controversial late penalty awarded to Fenerbahçe after Ivorian international Emmanuel Agbadou was deemed to have fouled Dorgeles Nené inside the box. Video replays, however, suggested that Agbadou had won the ball cleanly before the contact.
Ndidi speaks out on defeat
After the final whistle, the Nigerian international took to his Instagram story to vent his frustration regarding the decision and the lack of VAR intervention.
“How can you have VAR and decide not to check? I’m still trying to understand.”
This defeat sees Beşiktaş’s hopes of climbing into the top three hit a bump as the Black Eagles are in fourth place with 52 points. Meanwhile, the victory puts Fenerbahçe, to 63 points, keeping them firmly in the hunt for the title and maintaining pressure on league leaders Galatasaray.

Equipe de France : Mbappé, Dembélé, Olise.. Deschamps explique comment il gère ces stars
Souvent interrogé sur la difficulté de gérer des joueurs de classe mondiale comme Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise ou Ousmane Dembélé, Didier Deschamps a tenu à remettre les choses au clair. Pour le sélectionneur de l’équipe de France, encadrer des stars n’est pas forcément le plus grand défi dans le football professionnel. Un défi parfois plus grand dans les divisions inférieures Le technicien français estime même que la gestion est parfois plus délicate en Ligue 1, Ligue 2 ou en National. « C’est beaucoup plus difficile de gérer des jeunes ou des entraîneurs dans ces divisions, parce que ce ne sont pas les mêmes problématiques », explique-t-il. Une déclaration qui tranche avec l’idée répandue selon laquelle les grands noms seraient les plus compliqués à encadrer. Lucidité contre illusion : la vraie différence Selon Deschamps, les joueurs de très haut niveau ont un avantage déterminant : ils savent exactement où ils se situent. « Ils savent qu’ils font partie des meilleurs », souligne-t-il. À l’inverse, le véritable défi réside dans la gestion de profils moins établis, parfois convaincus de leur niveau sans que ce soit nécessairement justifié. « Le problème, c’est de gérer des joueurs qui pensent qu’ils sont très bons, mais qui ne le sont peut-être pas autant », ajoute-t-il. Les Bleus, un collectif avant tout Au sein de l’équipe de France, cette lucidité collective constitue une force. Les cadres, habitués à l’exigence du très haut niveau, comprennent parfaitement leur rôle dans le groupe, ce qui facilite grandement le travail du sélectionneur. Mbappé, un leader au service du collectif Le sélectionneur des Bleus a loué l’attitude de Kylian Mbappé. Souvent jugé individualiste, l’attaquant démontre au contraire qu’il agit pour le groupe : « Ils savent qu’ils peuvent peser sur le jeu, mais savent aussi que le collectif prime », explique Deschamps.

Catch blockbuster 2025/26 UEFA Champions League and Europa League quarterfinals on SuperSport – only on DStv & GOtv
The European season builds toward a thrilling crescendo as the quarterfinal first legs arrive across UEFA’s three major club competitions – UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. With heavyweight clashes and compelling underdog narratives, the coming midweek slate promises drama, intensity and defining moments.
In the UEFA Champions League, all eyes will be drawn to the blockbuster meeting between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. This is a fixture steeped in history, pitting two of Europe’s most decorated clubs against one another once more.
Bayern striker Harry Kane captured the magnitude of the occasion: “It’s going to be a big game for sure. Bayern Munich against Real Madrid, two of the biggest teams in Europe, in the quarter-finals. We’ll prepare like we do for every game. We’ll look at their strengths and weaknesses and try to exploit them. We have a way of playing that doesn’t change much, no matter who we play. It’ll be no different in the quarter-finals.”
With both sides boasting elite attacking talent and vast experience, fine margins could decide the tie.
Elsewhere, Sporting CP take on Arsenal in what shapes as a fascinating tactical duel. Arsenal’s return to Europe’s latter stages has been marked by composure and control, but Sporting’s energy and attacking verve make them dangerous opponents, particularly on home soil.
Another all-Spanish showdown sees Barcelona face Atletico Madrid. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick struck a cautious tone ahead of the tie: “The next round also looks like it will be very difficult. We have to go step by step, match by match; that’s what we did last season and will do again.” Atletico’s defensive resilience and counterattacking threat ensure this will be a tightly contested affair.
Meanwhile, defending champions Paris Saint-Germain renew hostilities with Liverpool in a high-stakes rematch. PSG are aiming to eliminate Liverpool for the second successive season, and their blend of attacking flair and big-game experience makes them formidable. Liverpool, however, will be driven by revenge and their own European pedigree.
In the UEFA Europa League, attention turns to Bologna against Aston Villa. Bologna’s rise has been one of the stories of the season, but Villa arrive with continental ambition and a squad capable of going deep. The clash promises an intriguing contrast in styles and experience.
Equally compelling is Porto versus Nottingham Forest. Forest’s European adventure comes amid a difficult domestic campaign, with the club embroiled in a relegation battle in the Premier League.
Head coach Vítor Pereira remains optimistic: “When we win, the spirit and energy is different. The boys deserve it, because they are a fantastic group. I don’t have any doubt that we have the quality to achieve our targets. I want to thank our supporters, because they deserve to keep going in this Europa League.” Porto’s pedigree in European competition ensures a stern test.
In the UEFA Conference League, Crystal Palace meet Fiorentina in a tie shaped by contrasting pressures. Palace are enjoying a memorable European run, while Fiorentina are battling relegation concerns in Serie A.
Palace boss Oliver Glasner acknowledged the challenge: “A huge achievement. Our next competitive game is against Fiorentina. We will have a few days off, many of the players will go to their national teams, and then we will prepare, we will have a friendly to get back in the rhythm. Hopefully, our European journey continues.”
Across all three competitions, the stakes are immense. With first-leg advantages crucial, expect bold approaches, tactical nuance and moments of brilliance as Europe’s elite chase continental glory.
