February 2014 brought the free kick that made his name, struck from 41 metres against Borussia Dortmund and still replayed in Germany as one of the finest ever hit. Türkiye's captain went on to become Inter's ice-cold penalty taker, winning Serie A in 2024 and 2026, three Supercoppa Italiana titles, two Coppa Italia crowns and a place in two Champions League finals. Career record: 104 caps and 22 goals for Türkiye; club career at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, AC Milan, Inter Milan.
