For the first time since the 2009-10 season, the Turkish Super League champion is located outside Istanbul after Trabzonspor clinched the 2021-22 title with a 2-2 home draw against Antalyaspor on Saturday. Among the key contributors for the side was Nigerian forward Anthony Nwakaeme, who contributed eleven goals and ten assists for the side as they secured their first title since the 1983-84 season.
Punch Newspapers recaps Saturday’s result for Trabzonspor and the feverish atmosphere on display in the city on the Black Sea as well as forwarding Nwakaeme’s reaction to the historic title. Due to recent injuries the 33-year-old was an unused substitute for the title-clinching match.
