It was the game that nobody watched. And a good job too, really. Burnley came here for a specific result and left with exactly that, although labelling this performance anything more than efficient would feel slightly euphemistic.
This very creditable draw against Istanbul Basaksehir, third in the Turkish top flight last season, was not televised back home. Burnley could not even organise a screening for supporters at Turf Moor. Other than the 600 who travelled and others battling incessant buffering on internet streams, it is as if the third round qualifying first leg did not happen.
That, in its own way, bore some resemblance to 51 years ago when they were last in Europe.
