In 2015, in an Atlético match against Barça, the Turkish genius played in something very crazy.
Before Arda Turan played for FC Barcelona, she starred in the shirt of Atlético de Madrid. And now that the Madrilenians are visiting the Catalan team in Montjuic, it is worth looking back on the day when the talented Turkish midfielder lost his nerve during a match against the Catalans.
During his time as an Atlético player, and during a match against Barcelona in the 2015 Copa del Rey, played at the Vicente Calderón, Arda was involved in an unusual incident when he attempted to attack one of referee Gil Manzano’s linesmen with a of his shoes. The shot did not hit the lineman and the referee only showed him a yellow card.

“In the 48th minute, player (10) Turan, Arda was warned for the following reason: throwing his shoe off the field of play as a sign of disagreement,” Gil Manzano said in the referee’s report. Unforgettable way to show dissatisfaction with the Turk.
It is not entirely clear whether the biggest madness was throwing a boot at the lineman or whether he only saw the yellow card, but it was without a doubt an incident that will be forever remembered every time Atleti and Barça meet.
