The 2007-08 campaign for Beşiktaş was a season defined by dramatic European extremes and a resilient domestic run. The Black Eagles secured a competitive 3rd-place finish in the Süper Lig, narrowly missing out on a higher spot despite strong momentum, which secured a vital spot in the UEFA Cup. The prolific Brazilian striking duo of Bobô and Márcio Nobre each netted 10 crucial league goals to lead the charge. While the year's memory is often clouded by a record 8-0 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League group stage, the campaign also delivered a thrilling home victory over the same English giants and a run to the Turkish Cup quarter-finals.
