"Fenerbahçe" played a goalless draw at home with "Benfica" in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off stage - 0:0.
İdman.biz reports that Kerem Aktürkoğlu, whom the Istanbul club wants to transfer, started the game in the starting lineup of the guests.
It is interesting that "Benfica" presented the starting lineup they shared on social media with a picture of the Turkish national team football player.
During warm-up exercises before the game, the former "Galatasaray" player responded to the applause of the "yellow-navy blue" fans with applause.
However, during the game, like other "Benfica" football players, Kerem was whistled as soon as the ball came to his feet. After the 26-year-old football player's free kick in the first half, goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat was able to save the ball.
It did not go unnoticed that "Fenerbahçe"'s head coach Jose Mourinho shook Kerem's hand, who left the game in the 77th minute.
According to the news of "Record", one of the leading press bodies of Portugal, "Benfica" has abandoned the idea of sending Kerem and has decided to keep him in the team. Sources close to the club stated that his transfer to "Fenerbahçe" was not allowed by "Benfica"'s president Rui Costa.
