The Super Lig derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce left more than just bragging rights on the pitch. Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi emerged with a shiner, courtesy of a face-first encounter with the goalpost while tussling for the ball.
The derby ended up being a damp squib with both sides putting on a poor display in the goalless draw at the Sukru Saracoglu stadium.

The only talking points after the game was Icardi posting images of himself with a black eye.
But the real head-scratcher? Wife Wanda Nara sporting a matching black eye in their post-game family photos!
Icardi seems to be taking the bump in good humor, even giving his wife a temporary shiner with makeup for the pictures.
But the origin story of Wanda’s black eye remains a mystery – was it solidarity with her beau, a cheeky comment on the match’s physicality, or something else entirely?
While the true reason for Wanda’s monochrome makeup might be lost to the sands of Instagram, one thing’s for sure: the Icardi family and the Galatasaray faithful will likely remember this derby not just for the score, but for the double-dose of black eyes – one accidental, one artistic.
