Galatasaray have been caught up in an unfortunate racism storm on social media on Sunday evening..
The Turkish club posted a picture on their official Instagram page of forward Dries Mertens, who was seen wearing a hat and a snood.
The caption of the post read: ‘Tahmin et, ben kimim’ and was accompanied by a ninja emoji. When translated to English the post is supposed to read: ‘Guess who I am’.
Galatasaray are currently in second place in the Turkish Super Lig and are behind leaders Fenerbahce only on goal difference.
