In Galatasaray's historic victory against Liverpool, the biggest share belongs to goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır. With his crucial saves that made a significant impact on the match, Çakır became the most talked-about name among fans on social media. The national goalkeeper, who equaled the Super Lig record with 8 saves in the match against Alanyaspor, achieved great success by keeping a clean sheet against Liverpool as well.
Galatasaray defeated Liverpool 1-0 at home in the second week of the UEFA Champions League. The only goal for the yellow-reds came from a penalty kick by Victor Osimhen.
UGURCAN PLAYED GREAT
In Galatasaray's historic victory against Liverpool, the biggest credit goes to goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır. With his critical saves that marked the match, the national goalkeeper topped the agenda of fans on social media.
INITIATED THE ATTACK THAT BROUGHT THE GOAL
The 29-year-old goalkeeper, who played a significant role in the build-up to the winning goal, prevented Ekitike's clear goal opportunity. Jakobs cleared the rebound off the line, and subsequently, Barış Alper won the penalty. Uğurcan, who brilliantly saved a powerful shot from German star Wirtz at the end of the first half, closed his goal immediately at the start of the second half by covering up the mistake in Jakobs' back pass.
Completing the match with 4 critical saves, the national goalkeeper proved to be the "guarantee to take over the goal after Muslera" by blocking all 12 shots on target that came to his goal since the Alanyaspor match.
"WE WON THANKS TO HIM"
Fans praised the experienced goalkeeper on social media with thousands of messages. Comments like "We won thanks to him", "Uğurcan is like a wall", and "Çakır is the star of the Liverpool victory" became the most shared expressions on social media.
