July 4 – The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs have reacted to UEFA’s investigation of Turkish international Merih Demiral, following his actions during the Euro 2024 round of 16 match against Austria, describing UEFA’s action as “unacceptable”.
Central defender Demiral scored both goals for Turkey in a 2-1 victory.
The 26-year-old celebrated his second goal by raising the index and little finger of each hand above his head, meaning he could face a potential suspension for the quarter-final.
