Fenerbahce was held to a 1-1 by Lille after losing the first leg 2-1 in France in Tuesday’s Champions League qualifiers. They crashed out on a 3-2 aggregate scoreline.

Fenerbahce are still in Europe as they will now head to the Europa League.

“It’s better if I don’t talk about the penalty,” said via Kontraspor. “Because looking at other things that have happened to me recently, only the referee knows why it was a penalty, and the VAR knows. I’m proud of my team.

“I am an honest person. I told my players that I was proud of them, they did everything to win. We adapted to many conditions during the match, two balls hit the post, we had many opportunities. One team deserved to win but the other team advanced.”
