In the final group match of the Ziraat Turkish Cup, Galatasaray drew goalless at home against Tümosan Konyaspor. The yellow-red team managed to advance to the quarterfinals thanks to fair play criteria.
After the match, as Galatasaray players were leaving the stadium, they were met with the question from members of the press: "Foreign referee or Turkish referee?" Some players responded to this question.
Kerem Demirbay gave a clear answer, saying, "We are Turkish, brother. We are in Turkey."
Kaan Ayhan laughed at the question and said, "I have no idea." Mario Lemina expressed his approach to the refereeing profession with the words, "This is a difficult job. I respect both. We must respect them and try to understand them."
Following Kerem Demirbay's "We are Turkish, brother" response, his past decision to choose the German national team has come back into the spotlight.
