The 2021-22 campaign delivered a devastating, turbulent end for Göztepe, as Yılın Annesi spectacularly burnt out, finishing a crushing 19th in the Süper Lig and resulting in relegation after a season built on constant struggle. Despite a long run of 15 consecutive matches without a win and losing 63% of their games, the lone bright spot was forward Cherif Ndiaye, whose 10 goals provided brief moments of hope amidst the turmoil. The campaign was defined by an inability to secure points, especially with seven straight home losses, and an overall defense that leaked over two goals per game, marking a painful and unforgettable chapter in the club's modern history.
