Galatasaray defeated Fenerbahçe 3-0, gaining a significant advantage in the championship race, while after the match, Kerem Aktürkoğlu's past comments echoed through the stadium speakers.
In the 31st week of the Trendyol Super League, Galatasaray, turning a critical corner on the championship path, defeated its arch-rival Fenerbahçe, whom it hosted at home, with a clear score of 3-0. With this victory, the yellow-reds have widely opened the door to their 26th championship, and the post-match celebrations were marked by the voice of former captain Kerem Aktürkoğlu.
KEREM'S PAST WORDS WERE PLAYED OVER THE STADIUM SPEAKERS
With the final whistle of the derby, a familiar voice rose from the stadium speakers. The words of Fenerbahçe player Kerem Aktürkoğlu, spoken after the championship in the 2023-24 season when he wore the Galatasaray jersey, "I think this turned out better, it was sweeter; because giving a bit of hope was nice for everyone..." echoed throughout the entire stadium.
WHAT HAD HAPPENED?
As will be recalled, in the penultimate week of the 2023-24 season, Galatasaray again hosted Fenerbahçe at home but lost 1-0 to its rival, postponing the championship celebration to the final week. The yellow-reds, who faced criticism at that time, clinched the cup by winning away at Konyaspor in the last week. In a post-championship interview, Kerem Aktürkoğlu, referencing his rivals, stated that this victory was more enjoyable because it came after "giving hope."
