Voetbal 24: "The draw has marked a significant difference for Belgian representatives. It's a tough draw for Union, while Club Brugge has better luck. Brugge will play against Molde from Norway. Union faces a more challenging draw against the Turkish team, Fenerbahçe, where Michy Batshuayi also plays."
"UNION HEADS INTO THE ISTANBUL INFERNO"
HLN: "Union Saint-Gilloise is going to the Istanbul inferno; meeting Michy Batshuayi and Fenerbahce. The Brussels team will face a top Turkish club. This means an infernal atmosphere and many big names. Edin Dzeko is the captain and top scorer. Michy Batshuayi, often a substitute, finds opportunities in European games. Dusan Tadić creates danger from the left. Other strong players include Sebastian Szymanski, Cengiz Ünder, and Dominik Livakovic. Leonardo Bonucci often sits on the bench. This demonstrates Fenerbahçe's quality."
"A BEAUTIFUL YET CHALLENGING MATCHUP"
De Morgen: "Union Saint-Gilloise drew a less favorable lot compared to Brugge. They will face Michy Batshuayi and Fenerbahce. It's a beautiful yet challenging matchup for the Brussels team."
"THE BEST CLUB IN TURKEY"
Voetbal Belgie: "Union will face Turkey's best club, Fenerbahçe. The squad includes notable names like Michy Batshuayi, Dusan Tadic, and Sebastian Szymanski."
