The star footballer who scored a goal against Beşiktaş made a scandalous move.

Gavriel Kanichowsky, who scored the first goal in the match between Beşiktaş and Maccabi Tel Aviv, celebrated his goal by saluting the Israeli flag. While Gavriel Kanichowsky's goal celebration drew reactions on social media, it reminded many of the penalty given to Merih Demiral.

In the 5th week of the UEFA Europa League, the first goal came from the Israeli team in the match played between Beşiktaş and Maccabi Tel Aviv. In the 23rd minute of the match, Gavriel Kanichowsky celebrated his goal by saluting the Israeli flag after sending the ball into the net.

Gavriel Kanichowsky's goal celebration received backlash on social media. Social media users discussed what UEFA would do about Gavriel Kanichowsky's goal celebration, given that they had penalized Merih Demiral.

Gavriel Kanichowsky's action reminded many of the penalty given to Merih Demiral. In the EURO 2024 Round of 16 match where Turkey defeated Austria 2-1, Merih Demiral, who scored two goals, became the center of controversy with his 'Grey Wolf' gesture after the second goal. Following this action, which was perceived as 'political' by UEFA, Merih Demiral was given a two-match suspension.
