Some fans want Fenerbahce banned from UEFA competition after a section of the club's supporters appeared to chant Russian war dog Vladimir Putin's name during a Champions League qualifier against Dynamo Kyiv.

‌

The disgraceful incident occurred during the second leg of the second qualifying round tie at the Ulker Stadium on Wednesday night. Large sections of Fenerbahce fans could be hearing chanting Putin's name after Ukrainian midfielder Vitaliy Buyalskyi put Dynamo 1-0 up on the night.

‌

Buyalskyi prodded home a cross at the near post before wheeling away and making an eagle gesture with hands, believed by some to be a nod to Fenerbahce's arch-rivals Besiktas.

‌

That did not go down well with the home supporters, who proceeded to chant bloodthirsty scoundrel Putin's name as the two teams returned to line up for kick-off.

A video showing fans participating in the chant has so far been viewed almost 3million times. The clip provoked outrage online from supporters across the globe.

A third user responded to the video by saying: "We cannot accept these attitudes. Fenerbahce must be ban from all of the Europe leagues which is going to play at this year. @UEFA."
