Defender Merih Demiral is being investigated by UEFA for his controversial celebration, a measure that has outraged the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Demiral was the hero of his team by scoring the goals in the 2-1 victory against Austria, which qualified Türkiye for the quarterfinals of the European Championship in Germany.
