UEFA sanctions Fenerbahçe players Guendouzi and Greenwood

UEFA has issued significant disciplinary sanctions against Fenerbahçe players Matteo Guendouzi and Mason Greenwood following post-match incidents during a Champions League play-off against Olympique Lyonnais.

Guendouzi received a four-match ban and a €50,000 fine for provoking spectators and violating rules of conduct. Two of these matches are suspended for a one-year probationary period, meaning he will miss upcoming fixtures against Roma and Aston Villa. Mason Greenwood was handed a one-match suspension, also suspended for one year, and a €30,000 fine for violating conduct rules.

Additional sanctions include a five-match ban for Lyon goalkeeper coach Antonio Ferreira for “serious assault” during the confrontation. Both clubs were also fined, with Fenerbahçe receiving a total of €95,000 and Lyon receiving €108,500 for various infractions including crowd disturbances and pyrotechnics. Fenerbahçe has announced its intention to appeal the decisions through its legal department.
