Kevin-Prince Boateng has taken to social media to clarify his reason for allegedly throwing his shirt in Besiktas' 2-1 defeat at home to Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday evening.
The Black Eagles were in action for the first time since mid-March when the league was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
It was clearly a bitter return with Antalyaspor taking a 2-0 first-half lead courtesy of Sinan Gumus and Amilton Silva.
Second-half substitute Adem Ljajic then pulled one back for Besiktas in the 68th minute.
Boateng was taken off three minutes prior to the consolation goal, with Umut Nayir taking his place.
