time. The penaltyincident was not discussed. It was a clear penalty! It was a scandalous decision. Why it was not discussedin the studio, I don't understand. In the first half, k......we were bad, but in the second halfwe were better. Welostwith a goal in the final minutes of the match. A very scandalous decision was made. This issue is not beingdiscussed in the studio. I am not at allsatisfied with the referee's performance.A scandalous decision was made.

This is not the first time a decision has been made against us. In the Fenerbahçe match, an unfair decision was also made against us. If we had continued our performance from the first half, I wouldn't be talking, but I want to ask the referees in the VAR room; were you eating something at that moment, or were you on a break! This is a scandal. We deserved at least 1 point. I am proud of my team."
