UEFA punish Real Madrid after fan's crime during Champions League match | OneFootball

UEFA has punished Real Madrid after a fan performed Nazi salutes inside the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The organization’s Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Committee ordered the partial closure of the stadium for one match.

However, the closure will only take place if another incident occurs within a period of one year. In addition, UEFA also fined the club 15,000 euros, approximately 91,000 reais.

Before the match against Benfica for the Champions League, one of the fans was seen making Nazi salutes. Shortly after the incident, the club’s security located and removed the fan even before the match began.

UEFA Statement

“Real Madrid has been fined 15,000 euros and has been ordered to partially close its stadium for the next UEFA club competition match in which Real Madrid plays as host, due to the racist and/or discriminatory behavior of its supporters. This stadium closure is suspended during a probationary period of one (1) year from the date of this decision.”
