During the second leg in Istanbul, footage captured three men attempting to lift the heavy pole.

Following much effort, the trio eventually managed to hurl it over a barrier separating home and away supporters.

According to Dutch outlet AD, a Feyenoord fan was struck in the head by the pole.

The injured supporter is said to have been trying to warn a cop about projectiles being thrown over the barrier.

Following the attack, the fan is said to have suffered a significant concussion, as well as a fractured hand.

Reports in the Netherlands claim that the injured fan has been unable to return to work in the two months since the match.

A police spokesperson told local television programme Opsporing Verzocht that the victim still suffers from: “Terrible headaches, can’t tolerate bright light, and can’t drive.”

The three alleged perpetrators left the match without being arrested.

New footage of the trio was aired on Dutch TV this week, with cops hoping to identify them.

The men are suspected of attempted manslaughter.


Fenerbahce, then managed by Jose Mourinho, won the match 5-2 to turn around a 2-1 first leg deficit.

They went on to be eliminated in the following round by Benfica, who Mourinho now manages.
