"BERKE IS IMPROVING A LOT"
Lille head coach Bruno Genesio showered praise on Berke after the match:
"Berke had a very good game against Le Havre. That gave him confidence, he's working well with Nico Dehon and he's improving a lot. Tonight he only had one real save to make, but he had to make it. For a goalkeeper, that's never easy: you have to stay ready, focused, and make the right move at the right moment. His save earned us the three points, and that's something that needs to be highlighted. This will do him a world of good."
"SPECTACULAR SAVE"
L'ÉQUIPE: The newspaper named Berke Man of the Match with a 7/10 rating.
"The Turkish goalkeeper didn't have much to do for most of the game, but he produced a spectacular save to deny Mason Greenwood's brilliant move (76'). He then dealt well with Kondogbia's shot (78'). He was also very assured with his feet."
