HE SAID "IT WILL BE A VERY BAD NIGHT FOR GALATASARAY"
Speaking on the "Deep Football" program aired on Beyaz TV, Ahmet Çakar argued that Galatasaray would suffer a heavy defeat against Liverpool. In his statement, Çakar said, "It will be a very bad night for Galatasaray. My wish is certainly not; I wish Galatasaray would win 5-0, but a grasshopper jumps once or twice, it cannot jump on the third; this is the natural dynamic of football." The experienced commentator also suggested that the yellow-red team would lose by at least 2-3 goals against the English giant.
THERE WAS A BACKLASH ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Çakar's remarks quickly became a trending topic on social media, drawing the ire of Galatasaray fans. Many fans directed harsh criticisms at the commentator's prediction.
IT WAS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE ON THE FIELD
In the match played at RAMS Park, contrary to expectations, Galatasaray emerged victorious with a score of 1-0. With this result, the yellow-red team gained a significant advantage before the return match to be played in England.
