Şahan Gökbakar criticized UEFA for the punishment given to Merih Demiral: Hypocritical.

UEFA has given our national football player Merih Demiral a 2-match ban for the wolf gesture he made after scoring a goal in the Austria match, which they have initiated an investigation into. Comedian Şahan Gökbakar has reacted to the issue that has been on the world agenda for days.

"HYPOCRITICAL UEFA"

In a post from his account X, Şahan Gökbakar expressed his anger at the punishment given to Demiral. He said, "He made the child's joy like that. Did he provoke someone? Did he insult someone? Did he do it against the opposing team? The child is Turkish and he made his joy with the wolf. Who cares? What is a 2-match ban, brother? UEFA has gone crazy. Our victory against Austria must have been heavy! Ulan Bellingham is holding up the middle finger against the opposing team; there is provocation, there is insult, and he gets a 20,000 euro fine. Get out of here! Hypocritical UEFA! Shame on you."
