European Cup

Beşiktaş became the first Turkish team to qualify for the European Cup. They qualified in 1957 but the Turkish Football Federation didn't send their name for the draw, therefore being disqualified.

In the first leg Beşiktaş lost 0-2 and in the second leg they tied 1-1. Real Madrid won 3-1 on the aggregate.
