UEFA investigates Lyon and Fenerbahçe following Champions League incidents

UEFA has opened disciplinary investigations into both Olympique Lyonnais and Fenerbahçe following incidents during their Champions League play-off second leg. The match, which saw Fenerbahçe secure a 2-1 victory to advance, ended in confrontations on and off the pitch.

Charges against the clubs include the use of pyrotechnics, the throwing of objects, and crowd disturbances. Additionally, UEFA has appointed ethics and disciplinary inspectors to investigate a physical altercation involving players and staff members. Specifically, Fenerbahçe midfielder Mattéo Guendouzi and Lyon goalkeeper coach Antonio Ferreira are under scrutiny for their roles in the post-match tensions.

Guendouzi defended his actions, stating he was responding to insults directed at his family from the stands. Meanwhile, reports from the stadium described chaotic scenes where Lyon supporters allegedly poured red wine over Fenerbahçe officials in the VIP section following the match.
