Besiktas have drawn Greek giants PAOK in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round draw.
The Black Eagles finished the Super Lig in third-place.
Usually, the league champions and runners-up qualify for the Champions League but because Trabzonspor was suspended from Europea competition this term their spot was passed down one position to Besiktas.

As a result the Black Eagles have been given the chance to qualify for the Champions League group stage which would come as a huge bonus considering their current financial state.
First of all, however, Besiktas must find a way past PAOK and then they will have to progress past the Third qualifying round and then the play-offs before getting to the group stage.
PAOK finished their respective league in second-place behind champions Olympiacos.
