Matteo Guendouzi's celebration sparked a massive brawl at the end of Fenerbahce's 2-1 victory over Lyon. The Turkish side secured a 3-2 aggregate win in the Champions League Qualification Final playoff tie, advancing to the league phase. Guendouzi, formerly of Marseille, seemed to taunt Lyon supporters after the match. The French midfielder appeared to provoke the crowd with gestures and shouted "Allez l’OM" towards a pitchside camera, referring to Lyon's fierce rivals Marseille.
This action led to an immediate attack from a Lyon fan towards Guendouzi. The situation escalated when Lyon players and staff confronted him, followed by teammates who joined in, resulting in a mass confrontation. Security personnel tried to restore order, but tensions remained high, especially around the tunnel area. The incident could potentially attract UEFA disciplinary action, though no sanctions were confirmed at the time.
Despite the chaotic scenes, Fenerbahce achieved a significant European milestone by reaching the Champions League league phase. Lyon were eliminated after failing to overcome the first-leg deficit, with Guendouzi's provocative celebration becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the dramatic night.
