Manchester City defender on loan at Galatasaray Jason Denayer has been to more training sessions than he remembers over his career.
But I bet he has never been to one in front of a packed stadium with fans lighting flares and creating a derby atmosphere.
Well that is exactly what happened on Friday when Galatasaray opened the doors to the fans ahead of the derby clash against bitter Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce.
Fans packed the stands, lit flares and chanted as if they were actually at the derby.
Denayer shared the surreal experience on his Instagram account – it really has to be seen to be believed.

First placed Galatasaray take on fourth-placed Fenerbahce on Saturday at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium knowing that a win would open up a nine-point gap.
There is just one problem… Galatasaray have not beat Fenerbahce away since 1999.
Denayer has been training with the team and is expected to start on Saturday.
