In the second leg of the Champions League qualifier playoff, Fenerbahçe defeated Olympiacos Lyon 2-1 away and eliminated their opponents with an aggregate score of 3-2 over two legs, securing a return to the Champions League proper after several years away. After the match ended, tensions on the pitch remained high. Fenerbahçe midfielder Matteo Guendouzi's celebrations sparked a confrontation between the two teams, and he nearly became the target of an attempted kick from a member of Olympiacos Lyon's coaching staff.

According to French media outlets L'Equipe and Foot Mercato, after the final whistle, Matteo Guendouzi, who previously played for Marseille, shouted "Come on Marseille!" while celebrating the team's qualification and also mimicked a signature gesture associated with Marseille rapper Jul. Given the long-standing rivalry between Olympiacos Lyon and Marseille, Guendouzi's actions quickly inflamed tensions among home fans and players.

Tensions between Olympiacos Lyon and Fenerbahçe players were already high, and the confrontation soon escalated, spreading from the pitch into the player tunnel.

Reports indicate the altercation escalated when Matteo Guendouzi was leaving the pitch, and Antonio Ferreira, a member of Olympiacos Lyon's coaching staff, rushed at the French midfielder. Video footage from the incident shows Ferreira, wearing an Olympiacos Lyon jacket, attempting a kicking motion as if to fight, trying to injure Matteo Guendouzi. Fortunately, a member of Fenerbahçe's staff intercepted the attack, and the situation descended into chaos.

Ferreira was subsequently surrounded by Fenerbahçe players and staff, leading to intense shoving in the player tunnel as coaching staff from both sides quickly intervened to de-escalate the situation.

In a post-match interview, Matteo Guendouzi addressed the confrontation, stating that he performed his celebration because his family had been targeted by Olympiacos Lyon fans for a long time, and this victory was also a response to doubts from outside critics.
