One of the notable moments in the match where Fenerbahçe visited Aston Villa for the second week of the Champions League league phase was the crowd's reaction toward Mason Greenwood.
At Villa Park, as the English footballer's name was announced before the match, the home fans began to boo. The reaction continued throughout the game; every time Greenwood touched the ball, sounds of protest rose from the stands.
For the 25-year-old player, this match marked his first official appearance in England since January 2022. Greenwood's last official match in England was Manchester United's 1-0 victory over West Ham on January 22, 2022.
Reports in the British press indicated that the protests at Villa Park were linked to the criminal investigation previously conducted regarding Greenwood.
Greenwood, wearing the Fenerbahçe jersey, made headlines not only for his performance on the pitch in the European competition but also for the intense reaction from the English crowd.
