The British newspaper `BBC" reported on the 25th (Korea time) that Turkiye Galatasaray would file a criminal suit against Jose Mourinho Fenerbahce, claiming that he had made racist remarks. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, based in Istanbul, are one of the world's leading rivals.
The two teams clashed at Galatasaray's home turf on the day, but drew without a goal. While Galatasaray remains in first place with 64 points, second-place Fenerbahce has 58 points. The six-point gap remained the same.
It is not clear whether Galatasaray took issue with Mourinho's remarks. Mourinho, however, said in a press conference after the `Istan Derby' that the home bench ran around like a monkeyIt seems that he was angry that he shot " and repeated his criticism of the Turkiye referee.
Both clubs asked foreign referees to host the game. Slovene Slavko Vinci took the whistle. The assistant referee was also from Slovenia. However, the Turkiye referee was in charge of the waiting hearing.

However, Mourinho took issue with the opponent's bench and the referee's judgment instead of the performance of Akchiczek. He should thank the referee. He made a big dive in the first minute of the game, and the opponent's bench ran around like a monkey"If it were a Turkiye referee, I would have received a yellow card a minute later, and I would have to change him five minutes later."
Mourinho continued "I went to the referee's office after the game, and the Turkiye referee, the waiting room, was also there. I told him 'Thank you for coming here. You're here for a big match. And turn to the atmosphere and say 'If you were a referee, this game would have been a disaster'," he said.
Galatasaray exploded. In a statement, the club claimed that "'Mourinho has consistently made insulting remarks towards our people since he began working as a manager at Turkiye' and that his discourse today has expanded beyond just unscrupulous statements to an apparently inhumane rhetoric'
Galatasaray went on to stress that he will formally declare preparations for criminal proceedings in connection with Mourinho's racist remarks, and will also file an official complaint with UEFA and FIFA.
We will also watch carefully how Fenerbahce, a club that professes to adhere to exemplary moral values, will respond to their coach's reprehensible actions.
Mourinho and Fenerbahce are silent on Galatasaray's statement for now.
