In the midst of the chaos, former Chelsea striker Batshuayi was confronted by a fan and quickly defended himself with a spinning high kick. The incident was caught on camera and has since gone viral on social media.
The situation only became more violent as more fans entered the pitch, with Fenerbahce's Bright Osayi-Samuel seen punching another fan in self-defense. The security forces had to intervene to protect the Fenerbahce players and escort them back to the changing rooms.

Turkey's interior minister, Ali Yerlikaya, also addressed the incident on social media, promising to launch an investigation into the events and hold those responsible accountable.
