8. He Once Launched His Boot At The Assistant Referee
During a Copa del Rey tie against Barcelona, Turan launched his boot at the assistant referee after a decision went against him. Atletico lost 3-2 on aggregate and, despite this moment of madness, the Turkish international was not sent off. Instead, teammates Gabi and Mario Suarez were both shown red for non-boot throwing related incidents. Turan had no option but to ask the official for his boot back after having hurled it at his face.
