On 16 May 2010 Bursaspor won the Super Lig after beating defending champions Beşiktaş 2–1 at home. They won the league by just one point above second placed Fenerbahçe,[1] although they had an 11-point gap over third placed Galatasaray. Their win ended 26 years of the "Istanbul Big Three" dominance.[2][3]
Bursaspor had the strongest strikeforce and the second strongest defence, of all teams in the league. It was manager Ertuğrul Sağlam's first full season in charge having taken over in January 2009, and it was the first time he has won the league. It was quoted that they had a budget of only €10m, a tenth of the budget of the 'Istanbul Three' in Turkey,[4] with Galatasaray having a budget of €125m.[5][6]
Bursaspor are only the second club based outside of Istanbul to ever win the league title in the history of Turkish top-flight football. The other club was Trabzonspor, who last won the league in 2021/22.
