'Is there such a ridiculous exit?' Muslera, the player who was doing the ceremony, walked on the foot 'Red Card'
Fernando Muslera was sent off in an absurd way.

Galatasaray lost 0-1 in the second round of the 2024-2025 European Champions League playoffs against the Young Voice at RAMS Park in Istanbul, Turkiye on the 28th (Korea time). Galatasaray, who lost 2-3 in the first game, lost even the home game and failed to advance to the finals. Galatasaray, which is lined with star players such as Mauro Icardi, Mitch Bachuai, Lucas Torreira and Hakim Ziyech, was considered to be far ahead in objective power, but the result was different than expected.

Galatasaray, who lost the first game, went on a general offensive. He shot 17 times. It was often missed, and was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper's good defense. In the 42nd minute of the second half, when Galatasaray was still dreaming of turning the tables, he was hit with an unexpected blow. French Virginius of the Young Voice, who was replaced, scored the winning goal and the netting goal on the day. The goal dashed Galatasaray's dream of advancing to the European Champions League finals.

Angered, Muslera walked off Virginius' foot, who was running for the ceremony. It's an angry scene, but it's rarely seen. While trying to cheer with Birginius on the bench, I was shocked by Musla's non-sportsmanlike behavior. Trying to stop him, some players approached and protested strongly. Muslera, of course, was immediately shown a red card by the referee.

It was Galatasaray who lost the game and lost in manners. Young Voice made it to the European Champions League for the first time in a long time.
