Michy Batshuayi Dedicates His Goal
In the 54th minute, Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi headed in the game’s only goal. Initially forgetting the tribute, it was Victor Osimhen who reminded him of the banner in the stands honoring Yiğit. Batshuayi then approached the display and dedicated his goal to the young fan, making a heartfelt gesture by touching the tifo.
A Visit to Yiğit’s Gravesite
In a genuine act of compassion, Galatasaray’s directors, coaching staff, and several players visited Yiğit’s gravesite earlier today. This gesture reinforced the sense of unity within the club's community and underscored football's ability to transcend the sport, fostering deep and meaningful connections.
The memory of Yiğit Kurt continues to inspire and unite the Galatasaray family, reminding all of the powerful human stories behind the game.
