Taking the stage to present the award, Wanda Nara said, "I knew Istanbul because I had been here on vacation with the children before.

I bought a Galatasaray jersey for Francesca here, and a few years later, Mauro transferred to Galatasaray. Istanbul is a very beautiful city. I convinced Mauro to move to Istanbul.

Thank you very much to our new home, Istanbul. I am presenting this award to Mauro Icardi, who does everything he can for Galatasaray," she said.

"I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I THINK WE NEED TO IMPROVE OURSELVES"

Receiving the award from his wife Wanda Nara, Icardi said in his speech on stage, "Receiving the athlete of the year award here is very special for me.

A very bad incident occurred in the football world last week.

In this regard, I would like to say that I think we need to improve ourselves. I would like to thank Galatasaray very much; I am here thanks to them," he said.
