Bilic – ‘We need our fans if we are to beat Liverpool’ [divider]
Slaven Bilic has called on Beşiktaş fans to turn up and fill the Atatürk Olympic stadium ahead of the Europa League Round of 32 second-leg.

“We need our fans to fill the Atatürk Olympic stadium if we are to beat Liverpool in the return leg,” Bilic told Turkish-football.com reporters at the post-game press conference.
