After Fenerbahçe was eliminated by Rangers, Ümit Karan made harsh criticisms of Mert Hakan Yandaş. Karan said, "Can’t Mert Hakan Yandaş stay calm on the bench? He received another yellow card while sitting on the bench. When Mert Hakan Yandaş came into the game, he could have received another yellow card for protesting. I don’t know how many yellow cards this is. Is there a player in football who has received this many yellow cards while on the bench? I doubt there is in history."

In the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, Fenerbahçe was eliminated by Rangers after a series of penalty shootouts. Evaluating the match, Ümit Karan made a striking criticism of the yellow-and-navy footballer Mert Hakan Yandaş.
Speaking on the Kale Arkası YouTube channel, Ümit Karan made harsh criticisms about Mert Hakan Yandaş, who missed a penalty.
"DOES NOT EXIST IN HISTORY"
Ümit Karan said, "Can’t Mert Hakan Yandaş stay calm on the bench? He received a yellow card again while on the bench. Mert Hakan Yandaş entered the game and could have received another yellow card for protesting. You would leave the team short, let people talk about this now. They call him 'the commander,' but how is he a commander? Does a commander have to receive a yellow card in every match? Is that when you become a commander? You received a yellow card on the bench; it may be a wrong decision not to award a penalty, but you continue your protests there.
The guy is already ready! If you had been short, maybe the match wouldn’t have gone to penalties. This is not acceptable! Why does this player constantly receive yellow cards on the bench? I don’t know which yellow card this is. Is there a player in football who receives this many yellow cards on the bench? It probably does not exist in history," he said.
