It was an emotional day for Berat, who received devastating news while traveling with his team to the stadium. His grandmother had passed away.
During the match, Berat's teammates dedicated their goals to him. The young player plays as a left forward and hails from an Albanian family in Gostivar, North Macedonia.
The Macedonian Football Federation has expressed interest in his talent, but it remains unclear whether the Albanian Football Association has contacted him. On his Instagram profile, Berat proudly displays the Albanian flag.
This remarkable story highlights the potential of young footballers from smaller countries making their mark on larger leagues. As Berat continues his journey in Turkish football, it will be exciting to see how he develops and potentially represents Albania internationally in the future.
