After Roberto Carlos signing in the beginning of this season, Fenerbahce is the most talked team in the European competitions, these days.

Under the Brazilian coach Zico,Fenerbahce won all three group games at home against Inter Milan, PSV Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow, and only lost at Inter. The team's vulnerable defense is offset in attack with Brazilian playmaker Alex de Souza supported by an aggressive midfield.
