Turkey suffered their second consecutive defeat in Euro 2016 following a 3-0 loss against Spain in Group D.

Spain put on a great display while Turkey didn’t bother to turn up however, the main talking point after the game was Arda Turan being booed by his own fans.

For those who did not see the incident here it is:

Turkish fans may not have been impressed with Turan’s display but in a bizarre turn of events Spanish fans  started chanting the bearded wingers name.

Even Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan got in on the act and criticised the Turkish fans that booed Turan.

Gundogan was born in Germany but is an ethnic Turk and wrote his tweet in his mother tongue.
