This season, own goals have become a common occurrence in football. There were even rumors that Chelsea had made a bid for them. However, one particular own goal stands out for its ridiculousness – the one scored by Türkiye against Portugal in the EUROs.
Under no pressure, Türkiye doubled their opponent’s lead when Manchester United deputy Altay Bayındır passed the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper and into an open net. Despite their best efforts, the players couldn’t stop the ball from trickling over the line. Many are wondering if we will ever see a more comedic moment at the European Championship.
This own goal has garnered attention for its sheer silliness and is being talked about as potentially the worst own goal in EUROs history. With own goals becoming more prevalent this season, this particular blunder has stood out for its absurdity. The mix-up between Bayındır and his teammate resulted in Türkiye inadvertently increasing Portugal’s lead, much to the dismay of their fans and supporters. The own goal has sparked discussions and debates about whether it is the most ridiculous own goal ever seen at the European Championship.
