it symbolizes istanbul's conquest.
Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.[3]
The Fall of Constantinople refers to the capture of the Byzantine Empire's capital by the Ottoman Empire on Tuesday, May 29, 1453 (Julian Calendar). The event marked the end of the political independence of the millennium-old Byzantine Empire, which was by then already fragmented into several Greek monarchies.

Dobili smo tekog protivnika‚ oekuje nas pakao u Istanbulu. Fenerbahe je najbolji i najvei klub u Turskoj
We have a very difficult opponent‚ hell awaits us in Istanbul. Fenerbahe is the best and biggest club in Turkey
Lol i know it was 555 years ago :P that's why i used a word 'only' -.- Actually i can say i know a lot abt 'Constantinople' :P
but does Hagia Sophia still stand? Stands. I'm sure that there's a few more things from those times.
Aragones isn't a good coach :X C'mon if he's not the good coach then i dunno who is... This way to have a coach Fenerbahce needs to employ God :P
Abt Ottomans:i could say a lot abt it from historical point of viewing. Well, History similar to the Arabian Empire but longer. Very interesting but when i was reading i was almost sure what things were gonna happen next ;)
i dont like Aragones he is too "slow" for me :lol: and he play alomost half championship without my favorite player :lol: (Fabregas)
history of ottoman empire is very interesting ! we fight against them 1389 on Kosovo Polje and we lose becose nobody from Europe dont want to help us.... then they come in Europe:lol:
