Bonucci e il Fenerbahce abbandonano drammaticamente la Supercoppa.
Leonardo Bonucci’s Fenerbahce shocked the world by boycotting the Turkish Supercup Final against Galatasaray. Initially, they fielded their youth team and then abruptly left the pitch. The Italian star, who recently joined Fenerbahce in January, has already made his mark with one assist in eight competitive appearances. Unfortunately, Bonucci missed the chaotic 3-2 victory over Trabzonspor due to injury, a match marred by fan violence that forced players to defend themselves physically.
The decision to boycott the Supercup Final was fueled by Fenerbahce’s grievances over security concerns and the authorities’ response following the incident in Trabzonspor. Additionally, the refusal to reschedule the match ahead of the Europa Conference League quarter-final clash with Olympiacos and the absence of a foreign referee further escalated tensions, leading to the dramatic scenes that unfolded.
The Supercup Final, originally scheduled for December 29 in Riyadh, was postponed due to a diplomatic dispute, as Saudi Arabian hosts prohibited displays of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. In response to Fenerbahce’s boycott, Galatasaray played against their reserve team to give fans some entertainment. The clash between the two Turkish giants ultimately ended in unexpected and unprecedented circumstances.
