The kneel came after demonstrations continue over the death of Floyd in the US.

Mr Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in police custody in Minneapolis last week after a white police officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes.

Kevin Prince Boateng and several other players also shared Tweets from the peaceful protest on their official accounts.

Besiktas have a history of anti-racist activism as do the ultra group Carsi.
