Yes, Besiktas did beat Liverpool in the Europa League but the Reds defeated the Black Eagles by a record scoreline 8-0 back in 2007.
It remains the biggest-ever win in Champions League history.
And is still a sore subject for Besiktas fans who have been mocked by their rivals ever since.
Several Liverpool fans were quick to remind Besiktas of that other memorable night.

Liverpool do also have fond memories of Istanbul. They famously won the 2005 Champions League in the same stadium.
The Reds also won the European Super Cup against Chelsea at the Vodafone Park stadium which is home to Besiktas last summer.
