Fenerbahçe, which defeated Olympique Lyon 2-1 away in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off round, advanced to the league phase by securing an aggregate lead. Following the 1-1 draw in the first leg in Istanbul, the victory in France earned the yellow-navies their ticket to the Champions League.
However, the agenda after the match was not limited to the sporting result. According to a report by the French outlet RMC Sport, UEFA has prepared a detailed report regarding the incidents that took place during and after the match. In this context, it was stated that both Lyon and Fenerbahçe could face disciplinary proceedings.
The unruly behavior of Lyon fans in the stands was particularly notable during the match. Furthermore, it was alleged that the tension on the pitch spilled over to the entrance of the locker room tunnel after the match, with Lyon players and a member of the technical staff intervening against Fenerbahçe's Matteo Guendouzi.
It was reported that UEFA is expected to launch a disciplinary investigation into the two clubs in the coming days. It is stated that potential sanctions will become clear following the evaluation of the prepared report and the disciplinary committee's review.
