Guendouzi confronted by Lyon fan near tunnel after Fenerbahçe’s 1-2 play-off win | OneFootball

Mattéo Guendouzi was attacked by a Lyon supporter near the players' tunnel after Fenerbahçe’s 1-2 play-off win. The midfielder was at the centre of chaotic post-match scenes.

Guendouzi, formerly of Olympique Marseille, Lyon’s fierce rivals, was loudly booed when he came on and responded by raising his middle finger, according to Goal.com. Fenerbahçe then held firm in the closing stages to clinch victory on Wednesday.

After the final whistle, footage shows Guendouzi provoking the home crowd, which angered Lyon players and sparked a scuffle as Fenerbahçe team-mates rushed in.

A separate clip from the stands shows a Lyon fan jumping down near the tunnel to attack him. The intruder is then hit by Ederson among others.

The result leaves the Champions League place with the club from Türkiye, while Lyon play in the Europa League this season.
