Fan power:
So just how loud was the Inönü Stadium in Istanbul on Tuesday? The noise generated by Beşiktaş JK fans has been recorded at 132 decibels, the equivalent to a plane at take off, and Manchester United FC goalkeeper Ben Foster was certainly blown away by the experience. "It was deafening. There was a point in the second half when I couldn't hear myself think, it was that loud," he said after United's 1-0 win. Paul Scholes's 76th-minute goal, though, quickly silenced the crowd. "We knew what to expect," the United veteran said. "We've been to Turkey a few times now."
