"These behaviors should not go unpunished!"

Fenerbahçe made a statement about the events that took place after the derby. Yellow-dark blue team said, "The competition and tension of the derby does not give anyone the right to attack our football players. What happened cannot be dismissed as "derby tension". This attitude of the opposing team members fueled the events rather than reducing the tension. While our club acts responsibly at a time when Turkish football needs calm, these behaviors that do not suit the hospitality of a winning team should not go unpunished." he said.

Here is Fenerbahçe's full statement:

"We strongly condemn the verbal and physical attacks against our football players in the derby match played last night.

The events that started with the verbal attack against Kerem Aktürkoğlu, escalated with the attack of Serhat Doğan from the Galatasaray analysis team on Matteo Guendouzi, and continued with Abdülkerim Bardakçı pulling our football player's hair are unacceptable.

The competition and tension of the derby does not give anyone the right to attack our football players. What happened cannot be dismissed as "derby tension". This attitude of the opposing team members fueled the events rather than reducing the tension.

While our club acts responsibly at a time when Turkish football needs tranquility, these behaviors that do not suit the hospitality of a winning team should not go unpunished.

The actions of everyone involved in the incidents must be fully examined, and the necessary disciplinary sanctions must be applied to those responsible without any discrimination.

"The way to prevent violence in Turkish football is not to leave those responsible unpunished."
