The 2010-11 campaign was a season of European glamour and triumphant silverware for Besiktas. The Black Eagles, massively strengthened by the arrival of superstars Ricardo Quaresma and Guti, ultimately finished 5th in the Süper Lig, but the season's true glory came in the cup. They clinched their ninth Turkish Cup title in a dramatic penalty shootout against Istanbul B.B., with Quaresma earning Man of the Match in the final. Though Bobô led the league scoring with 8 goals, the season was defined by a quest for glory fueled by high-profile transfers and a spectacular cup run.
