Analysts said Galatasaray (Turkiye)'s score was a foul.
Galatasaray drew 3-3 with Manchester United in the fifth round of Group A of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League (UCL) at Rams Park in Istanbul, Turkiye, on the 30th.
Galatasaray was dragged away by Manchester United, losing two goals first. However, Galatasaray followed one goal with Hakim Ziyech's free-kick goal in the 29th minute of the first half, and while Manchester United scored an additional goal, Galatasaray also scored two goals to earn one valuable point.
However, British media are suggesting that Galatasaray's first score was a foul. In England's "Bane Sports," Icardi stood in front of the Manchester United defensive wall when Ziyech's free kick was scored. However, this gap was only 61 cm. The International Football Council's (IFAB) rules say, "When taking a free kick, an indirect free kick is given if the attacking team player is less than 1 meter from the 'wall' formed by three or more defending team players."

Manchester United's defensive wall consists of four players. This means that Ziyech's score may be nullified. However, the umpires continued to play on the same day.
