Ariel Ortega’s finest hour and a half, in Turkey anyway. How a war didn’t start I’ll never know. Fenerbahçe had won the league in 2001, denying Galatasaray a fifth consecutive title in the process. They followed up the next season with a runners-up place behind Galatasaray under coach Werner Lorant. The 2002-03 season, however, did not go so well as Fenerbahçe finished in lowly sixth place even with the mighty Ortega in the squad. Despite this, that season is memorable to many Fenerbahçe fans due to this 6–0 mauling against their arch-rivals on 6th November, 2002.
