Merih Demir's goal celebration in the round of 16 became high politics. Now, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in place at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin to watch the European Championship quarterfinal against the Netherlands.
SportsGerman police stopped a Turkish supporter march in Berlin ahead of the European Championship quarterfinal between the Netherlands and Turkey at the Olympic Stadium. The reason was that several football supporters made the so-called "wolf gesture" with their hands.
FootballMerih Demiral is banned for two matches after making the controversial "wolf gesture" during the European Championship in Germany. The centre-back will therefore miss Turkey's quarter-final against the Netherlands in Berlin – a meeting seen as a high-risk match by the police. The ban is being criticized by Turkish government politicians.
