FENERBAHCE SHOCKED
In a letter to Turkish Football Federation, UEFA said: "Fenerbahce should either withdraw from Champions League or Turkish Federation should make a decision. Otherwise, Turkish football will face a heavy penalty."
So, the federation pulled Fenerbahce out of the Champions League.
When UEFA was notified by Turkish federation about the decision, UEFA President and four members decided to replace Fenerbahce with Trabzonspor in today's draw. Trabzonspor, whose match against Atletico Bilbao was cancelled, will play in Champions League.
Mehmet Ali Aydinlar, President of Turkish Football Federation, said: "We have made a decision in accordance with the request by UEFA. Otherwise, Turkey might have been banned up to 8 years."
TURKISH FOOTBALL THROWN INTO FIRE
Shortly after the decision, Fenerbahce accused both Turkish Football Federation (TFF) and UEFA, saying: "Turkish football has been thrown into fire."
This step is clearly a breach of law and it means that TFF has seen its earlier decision at naught."
