After our National Football Team guaranteed its place in the World Cup, Galatasaray Club published a congratulatory message on its social media accounts. The absence of Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who scored the only goal for the national team in the match, ignited a major debate.
GALATASARAY'S CELEBRATION WITHOUT KEREM
While the crescent-starred team that secured their World Cup visa filled all of Turkey with joy, clubs began to share congratulatory messages one after another. The celebratory visual shared from Galatasaray Club's official social media accounts quickly became the number one topic on social media. While the poster featured players currently in the squad, the absence of Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who achieved great successes in the past wearing the Galatasaray jersey and brought significant transfer fees to the club with his move to Europe, but faced backlash from the community after transferring to Fenerbahçe at the beginning of the season, drew considerable attention.
REACTIONS ON SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLODED
As thousands of comments came in a short time under the post, fans reacted strongly to the yellow-red community's behavior.
Here are some of the comments made:
- "Isn't Kerem one of the biggest contributors to this team's success? Why is he not in the photo?''
- "Not including the photo of the man who took us to the World Cup is a huge shame!''
- "Is this something to do on such a day? Don't make color distinctions, they are all our players!''
