Hamit Altıntop (Turkish pronunciation: [häˈmit äɫˈtɯnto̞p]; born 8 December 1982) is a German-born Turkish professional footballer who plays for Real Madrid in La Liga. He is a versatile midfielder who can play either in a defending or attacking role and on both flanks. He is well known for his flair of long-shot ability, as shown when he played for Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich. He is the identical twin brother of footballer Halil Altıntop, who was born 10 minutes after Hamit.

Altıntop was part of the Turkey squad that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2008. After the tournament he was voted as part of the 23-man Team of the tournament awards. He won the 2010 FIFA Puskás Award for scoring the best goal of the season in an UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match against Kazakhstan in a 3–0 win for his country.

Altıntop started his professional career in local German club Wattenscheid in 2000 along with his brother. As successful performances grabbed the attention of bigger clubs, he was transferred to Schalke 04 in 2003, where he played in a primarily defensive midfield role. In the 2006–07 summer transfer window, Schalke signed his brother Halil from Kaiserslautern. Schalke came second in the Bundesliga, only pipped by VfB Stuttgart by two points.

Burak Yılmaz (born 15 July 1985 in Antalya, Turkey) is a Turkish footballer who plays for Trabzonspor and the Turkish national team as a striker.

He started his professional career in Antalyaspor where he contributed to the success of the team's promotion to the Süper Lig after finishing second in Division 1 in the 2005–06 season. In 70 league appearances for the club he scored 17 goals.

Burak was transferred to Beşiktaş in the summer of 2006. In his first season he scored 5 goals in 30 league appearances, but his performance took a downfall during the 2007-08 season. In January 2008 he was sold to Manisaspor as part of an exchange deal.

Burak transferred from Beşiktaş in a part-exchange deal with Manisaspor, for which Manisaspor gave Filip Holosko in 2007-08 January transfer window. Burak scored a hat-trick against Denizlispor in the first game for his new club and again caught the attention of bigger clubs by scoring 9 goals in 16 league appearances.

On 29 June 2008 Burak was sold to Fenerbahçe and was presented at a news conference wearing the number 7 shirt. On the contrary to his "promising youngster" image in Manisaspor and Beşiktaş, he had been a disappointment during his spell in Fenerbahçe, only playing 6 games and failing to score in the 2008-09 season.
