Kerem Aktürkoğlu's missed goal becomes a talking point in the Champions League
Barcelona gained an advantage for the next round by defeating Benfica away in the Champions League. The goal opportunity missed by Kerem Aktürkoğlu at the start of the match drew significant attention.
In the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match played at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Barcelona defeated Benfica 1-0, securing a significant advantage. One of the most discussed moments of the match was the goal opportunity missed by our national footballer Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who plays for Benfica, just 17 seconds into the game.
While Benfica made a fast start to the match, Kerem Aktürkoğlu's shot was saved by Barcelona goalkeeper Szczesny. This save denied Kerem the opportunity to make Champions League history and found wide resonance in the Portuguese press and on social media.
Kerem Aktürkoğlu remained on the pitch for the full 90 minutes of the match, while our other national player, Orkun Kökçü, was substituted in the 84th minute.
