“I feel a little uncomfortable. I think I should tell my coach. If I reduce the team, that would be bad.

“I don’t want the achievements of my other friends to decline. I told Mauro (Icardi) and the coach. That’s why I left the game.”

He added: “We weren’t happy as a team, we deserved the three points, football is like that sometimes.

“You can play the way you want and not win. I am happy to score two goals, we are all not happy because of the draw, we have to work hard and focus to win the next game.

“I am happy with my own performance but we will work harder and try to do better in the coming games.”

Even though they drew, Galatasaray remained at the top of the league standings.
