In the quarter-finals of the 2024 European Championship, the national football team faced off against the Netherlands. Clement Turpin participated in this exciting competition. The decisions he made and did not make during the match drew attention.
In the 10th minute, Barış-Alper Yılmaz was left on the ground trying to get in behind the Dutch defence, after Stefan de Vrij’s intervention. With no one in front of him, he couldn’t get to the ball, but no whistle was called for a foul.
The decision prompted Turkish fans at the Berlin Olympic Stadium to whistle at the referee, but Clement Turpin’s decision stood.
