Today is also the birthday of Gheorghe Hagi, one of the symbolic names in the club's history, which Galatasaray fans have not forgotten.
Hagi, the former captain of the Romanian national team, known in world football as the "Carpathian Maradona", turns 61 years old. With his technique, accurate long-range shots and playmaking, Hagi has been considered one of the brightest midfielders in European football for many years.

With the Istanbul representative, he became the Turkish champion four times, won the Turkish Cup twice, and in 2000 he lifted the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup over his head. In particular, his leadership in the UEFA Cup final against Arsenal and the UEFA Super Cup match against Real Madrid is still remembered by fans.
Gheorghe Hagi, who scored 35 goals in 125 matches for the Romanian national team, is considered one of the greatest figures in the history of the country's football.
