UEFA has launched disciplinary proceedings against Fenerbahce's Matteo Guendouzi and Mason Greenwood following the second leg of a Champions League playoff match at Olympique Lyonnais, the Turkish club announced.

In a statement released on Thursday, Fenerbahce said: "Our club will present the necessary defenses before the relevant UEFA bodies in order to protect the rights and interests of our players and Fenerbahce during this process."

French midfielder Guendouzi and English forward Greenwood allegedly made provocative gestures towards Lyon supporters, which was followed by a brawl as Guendouzi left the pitch, after Fenerbahce's 2-1 win last month.

The incident led to clashes between players and coaching staff on and off the pitch, turning the visiting team's celebrations into chaos.

Fenerbahce also noted that they are under scrutiny. A UEFA spokesperson said: "Everything from that match is still with the disciplinary body."

Fenerbahce progressed to the league phase of the Champions League with a 3-2 aggregate victory.
