Former Premier League goalkeeper Ederson was seen complaining to the referee after being pelted with cups during the Istanbul derby over the weekend.
The Brazilian was between the sticks for Fenerbahce during their match against rivals Besiktas away from home when he was subject to a barrage of items from opposition fans.
At one point during the 3-2 thriller, Ederson attempted to volley one cup back at the lively supporters.
It was his eighth game for the Turkish side after leaving Manchester City in the summer, with six Premier League titles during his eight years, from 2017 to 2025.
As the rain poured down late on, the Brazilian could be seen gesturing towards the referee and shrugging his shoulders in disgust.
Former Real Madrid and Aston Villa star Marco Asensio also appeared to be struck by an object from the crowd when taking a corner, going down clutching his head.
El Bilal Toure opened the scoring early, putting Besiktas ahead within the first five minutes.
Emirhan Topcu soon added a second, giving the hosts a commanding lead before the midway point of the first half.
