Galatasaray responded to claims that whistling and chanting sounds were played through the stadium speakers during the Bodo/Glimt match. Coşkun Gülbahar, the club's media and communication manager, denied these allegations, stating, "Of course, the sound only comes from the fans. I don't know if this is your first time at our stadium in Istanbul. But Galatasaray's home matches have always been like this in Champions League games."
In the 3rd week of the UEFA Champions League, Galatasaray defeated Bodo/Glimt 3-1 at home. The atmosphere at RAMS Park marked the match. The intense whistling sounds rising from the stands disturbed the Norwegian representative, while the Norwegian media made a striking claim regarding this issue.
CLAIM OF EFFECTIVE SPEAKER SYSTEM
Avisa Nordland reporter Freddy Toresen stated in a podcast called "Studio Glimt" that the speaker system activated by the announcer contributed to the intense whistling sounds at RAMS Park.
GALATASARAY'S RESPONSE TO THE CLAIMS
Galatasaray responded to the claims. Coşkun Gülbahar, the media and communication manager of Galatasaray Club, expressed that the allegation of whistling sounds coming from the stadium's speakers is false, stating, "Of course, the sound only comes from the fans. I don't know if this is your first visit to our stadium in Istanbul. But Galatasaray's home matches in the Champions League and Europa League have always been like this. Three weeks ago, we played against Liverpool. It was the same level then. You must know how dedicated the Turkish people are; that's the situation. Of course, the noise only comes from the fans."
