For his part, Can Long, the eintrachtist attacker, expressed his joy after scoring the fifth goal, stressing that this goal was an emotional and spontaneous celebration. He insisted that he would never make a mockery of his own country or club, hoping that this attitude would be understood by all. This statement was particularly notable given its status as a Turkish national player.

The Champions League match also sparked discussions about coach Okan Buruk’s tactical choices and the performance of some players. The initial selection, with changes such as Singo, Lemina and Peace Alper Yılmaz, was questioned, particularly with regard to the performance of Peace Alper. An error on the part of Peace Alper enabled the Eintracht Frankfurt to score, and this action was widely criticized on social networks. This performance attracted the attention of European clubs and scouts, who potentially monitored the player, while the NEOM club was considering a new transfer offer.
