The Super Cup match, which pitted last season’s Super League champion Galatasaray against Turkish Cup winner Fenerbahçe, was abandoned when Fenerbahçe withdrew from the field after Icardi’s goal in the 50th second.
Ismael Garcia Gomez, the Spanish assistant of Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk, spoke to Cadena Ser from his country’s press about the Super Cup match that could not be played.
The interview given by the 35-year-old coach is as follows:
How are you feeling right now?
As a result, we are happy. A cup is a cup. Winning something is something to be happy about. The way this championship was achieved was not the way we wanted. I think it would have been more ideal for football if we had played the match as it was supposed to be. It didn’t happen that way due to the circumstances, but we celebrate this championship as much as we can. Now we will continue on our way and focus on the league championship.

How does it feel for a professional? You must have experienced tense and strange feelings…
Definitely. Ultimately, it is a situation that leaves a very bad image for Turkish football. It’s a shame… Because the image people have of Turkish football is the fights and events that took place this season. Turkish football is trying to grow, but these kinds of things make it difficult.
Did you have any information about what would happen in the match?
Even though there was not completely reliable information, we learned some things. We knew the opponent was planning something different.
What does it mean for Galatasaray if Fenerbahçe is not in the Super Cup or even in the Super League?
Turkish football is most affected by this situation. We are having a good football match. Both teams have improved a lot compared to last season. It’s sad that we don’t talk about this and have to talk about other things. Unfortunately, this is one of the things that prevents the development of football in Turkey.
Did you get the cup on the field?
There was no trophy ceremony. We will win the cup in another home match, but I don’t know when.
Were there Fenerbahçe fans in the stands?
I have not seen. Those who came to the stands were our fans. We decided to have a training match because people paid for tickets. We played an 11 vs 11 match out of respect. For some families, getting there was a huge expense.

How much importance do you attach to the goal you scored in the first minute?
Considering the outcome, it matters very little because the match could have ended very differently.
