  • Mason Greenwood received a one-match suspended ban and a 30,000-euro fine.
  • Fenerbahce advanced 3-2 on aggregate after a 2-1 victory in the second leg, which ended with a brawl involving players and staff.

Matteo Guendouzi received a four-match UEFA suspension and a 50,000-euro fine for his role in the disorder that followed Fenerbahce’s Champions League play-off victory over Lyon.

UEFA said Guendouzi was suspended for insulting people at the match, provoking spectators and violating the basic rules of decent conduct. Two of the four matches are subject to a one-year probationary period.

The former Arsenal midfielder, who previously played for Lyon’s bitter rivals Marseille, was found guilty of giving the middle finger to Lyon supporters and of provocations that led to a scuffle after the final whistle.

His Fenerbahce teammate Mason Greenwood, also a former Manchester United player, received a one-match suspended ban and a 30,000-euro fine for violating the basic rules of decent conduct.

The sanctions followed Fenerbahce’s 2-1 victory in France last month. The result sent the Turkish club through 3-2 on aggregate, but Greenwood and Guendouzi were later involved in a brawl with players and coaching staff from both teams.
