UEFA has opened a disciplinary investigation into midfielder Matteo Guendouzi and forward Mason Greenwood after the two players were involved in an altercation and provocative gestures towards Olympique Lyon supporters in the second leg of the Champions League playoff last month. Fenerbahce announced they will present necessary defenses before UEFA bodies to protect the rights and interests of the players and the club. The incident occurred right after Fenerbahce won 2-1 at Olympique Lyonnais, advancing 3-2 on aggregate to qualify for the Champions League league phase. The match was high-stakes with intense pressure from opposing fans. As Guendouzi left the pitch, a brawl broke out with alleged provocative gestures directed at Lyon supporters. UEFA stated that everything from that match is still with the disciplinary body.
