Have to admit I prefer this outcome for the narrative of the save even if it's bittersweet for you.
It's nice to see the AI was able to inherit Gencler and at least in the short term, sustain the form you had with them. Plus, you haven't even had a summer to recruit and a preseason with Trabzonspor, so if you are able to eventually win the title at some point, it'll feel well earned.
Does second place qualify straight for the CL group stage?
