Ilkay Gündogan suffers brutal foul from Ryan Porteous: Funniest memes

Ilkay Gündogan was the victim of an outrageous foul in UEFA Euro 2024 during the opening match between Germany and Scotland, which took place in Munich.

Five minutes before halftime, Gündogan found himself alone in the box ready to score his team’s third goal. However, defender Ryan Porteous slid recklessly trying to stop the German star. Although the Scotsman touched the ball, his foot violently stamped on the right ankle of the Barcelona midfielder.

In an incredible turn of events, referee Clement Turpin did not call the foul and VAR had to intervene to correct it. After reviewing the play, Porteous was shown the red card and Kai Havertz scored the 3-0 via penalty kick.
