Fenerbahce midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has been banned for four European matches, with two of those suspended, and fined 50,000 euros (£43,000) for his role in a post-match brawl following Fenerbahce’s Champions League play-off win against Lyon. The incident occurred after Fenerbahce secured a 3-2 aggregate victory, sending them through to the group stage of the competition. Guendouzi was penalized for "insulting others present at the match, provoking spectators, and violating the basic rules of decent conduct." Mason Greenwood, Fenerbahce’s English striker, received a one-match suspended ban and a 30,000 euro (£26,000) fine for similar conduct. Greenwood, who transferred to Fenerbahce from Lyon’s rival club Marseille in the summer, was penalized for "violating the basic rules of decent conduct." Both Fenerbahce and Lyon were fined 50,000 euros for their teams’ misconduct during the incident. Lyon’s goalkeeping coach, Antonio Ferreira, was given a five-match ban, with two of those suspended, for "serious assault" during the post-match clashes. The incident reportedly escalated when Guendouzi, who had previously played for Marseille and was booed by Lyon fans during the match, appeared to taunt sections of the home crowd after the victory. Teammates reportedly intervened as tensions rose, and video footage showed a fan in a Lyon shirt confronting Guendouzi near the tunnel, leading to a scuffle involving players and staff from both teams. Following the incident, Guendouzi expressed frustration with Lyon supporters, saying he felt "disrespected" by the taunts directed at his family. He criticized the lack of intervention from officials to control the crowd, stating that in France, such situations often lead to fan warnings or even match suspensions. The incident highlights the intense rivalries and emotions that can accompany high-stakes football matches, particularly in European competitions.
