UEFA are opening an investigation into the behaviour of Fenerbahce supporters during Wednesday night's Champions League qualifier defeat to Dynamo Kyiv following complaints that followers of Turkish club were singing pro-Vladimir Putin songs.
The governing body said that an ethics and disciplinary inspector has been appointed to investigate "alleged misbehaviour of Fenerbahçe supporters" during the second qualifying round, second leg match which the Ukrainian club won 2-1 in extra time. The first leg, played in Poland, had finished scoreless.
The chants occurred after Dynamo midfielder Vitaliy Buyalskyi celebrated giving his side the lead by making an eagle gesture with his hands. The eagle is the symbol of Fenerbahce's arch-rivals Besiktas.
