"Today was a bad day for us. We did everything wrong. We conceded a bad penalty, then went down to ten men. That made the scoreline even worse," said Buruk.

Despite the disappointing result, Buruk pointed out that there were moments in the game when Galatasaray played well. However, he also emphasized that the team made poor choices in key situations.

"We started the game well and did some good things, but at the same time, we failed to defend properly. When we had the ball, we made bad decisions and too many passing mistakes. A team like Galatasaray should not make such mistakes. At times, we gave the opponent opportunities with our own feet. That’s why we suffered such a heavy defeat."

Buruk also reflected on the team's overall performance and said, "I have been thinking a lot about whether we did anything right today. Honestly, I cannot find much to say. In the end, the result speaks for itself."

"IF WE HAD WON, OUR FUTURE WOULD BE MUCH CLEARER"
Buruk expressed deep sadness over the defeat but reminded everyone that the season is not over yet.

"This was a really bad day for us, and I feel the pain of this loss deeply. But we cannot just focus on this one match. We are still in the race, both in Europe and in the Turkish league. Right now, we are 6 points ahead of our closest rival in the league."

He also explained that the team is going through a transition period due to injuries, suspensions, and new players joining the squad.

"This was the toughest match for us during this period. We had new players, injured players, and suspended players. If we had won this game, things would have looked much better for us moving forward. Unfortunately, that did not happen."

FANS CRITICIZE OKAN BURUK AFTER THE MATCH
Following the match, there was a wave of criticism directed at Okan Buruk, especially on social media. Many fans questioned his tactics and decisions, blaming him for the team’s poor performance.

Hatipoğlu shared a post on social media, backing the coach and showing trust in his leadership. His statement quickly gained attention, sparking discussions among fans and football analysts.
