On July 5th, UEFA announced two fines. English star Bellingham was fined €20,000 for an inappropriate gesture, while Turkish player Demiral was suspended for two matches for a similar gesture.
The decision has sparked anger among Turkish fans who believe UEFA is openly enforcing “double standards.” One fan said: “Demiral made a gesture that 90% of the world doesn’t understand and was suspended for two games; Bellingham made a gesture that everyone understands and only got a €20,000 fine.”
In the European Championship quarter-finals, England will face Switzerland, while Turkey will challenge the Netherlands.
