In the 3rd week of the UEFA Europa League, Beşiktaş drew 2-2 at home against Crystal Palace. Following the match, sports writers evaluated the game by criticizing the squad fielded by head coach Vincenzo Italiano and his record-breaking rotation.

Attila Gökçe stated that Beşiktaş left behind their worst match played since the beginning of the season and expressed that the bill should be blamed directly on Italiano. Güntekin Onay, on the other hand, argued that the football played by the heavily rotated squad was satisfactory, and that the 7 points gathered in the first 3 matches along with the 1 point were valuable. Bilal Meşe emphasized that making as many as 8 player changes disrupted the team's harmony, while Ömer Üründül stated that Italiano committed hara-kiri with the record rotation, yet the 1 point gained was worth its weight in gold.
