Uğurcan Çakır, who experienced his first championship joy with the Galatasaray jersey, made a striking reference to his former team Trabzonspor. The photo used by the national goalkeeper in his championship post became a topic of discussion.

Uğurcan Çakır, who transferred from Trabzonspor to Galatasaray at the start of the season with a historic transfer fee, won his first Süper Lig championship with the yellow-reds. The national goalkeeper made a big impact with a post after the championship. 

A REFERENCE TO TRABZONSPOR'S POST

Uğurcan Çakır, who made a post on his social media accounts, added the note "Champion Galatasaray" to this post and placed a yellow-red heart emoji. In the image used by the experienced goalkeeper, he is seen leaving his gloves next to the championship trophy. This image was interpreted as a reference to a post made by Trabzonspor months ago.

WHAT HAD TRABZONSPOR POSTED?

After Galatasaray's 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League, Trabzonspor made a post regarding their upcoming league match against Gaziantep FK and used an image showing goalkeeper gloves next to a trash can. This post by the burgundy-blues was interpreted as a reference to Uğurcan Çakır.
