Mauro Icardi, the Galatasaray forward who has been sidelined due to injury, couldn’t stay quiet about the controversial incident during the Turkish Cup match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. During the game, José Mourinho grabbed opposing coach Okan Buruk by the face, which sparked a lot of attention.
Icardi shared a video of the moment on his Instagram Stories, captioning it with “They not only play handball, but they also box!!” followed by a laughing emoji. The Argentine also reposted a photo of Okan and Mourinho from Galatasaray’s official account, adding “The one and only” and tagging his own coach.
It’s clear that Icardi was outraged by Mourinho’s actions and showed his support for his head coach, Okan Buruk, who was on the receiving end of the Portuguese manager’s aggressive move.
Galatasaray, despite the drama, won the match and secured their place in the Turkish Cup semifinals, where they will face Konyaspor. The match is set to take place on April 22.
