MADRID — Real Madrid has been fined 30,000 euros ($31,200) by UEFA due to unspecified discriminatory actions believed to have been committed by fans during their recent Champions League face-off against Manchester City.
Additionally, a suspended partial stadium closure has been imposed on the Spanish club.
UEFA announced that Real Madrid will be on a two-year probation period, during which they may be required to shut 500 seats in an upcoming match.
The specific behaviors that led to the sanction during the February 19th match at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium are not clear. During this fixture, Madrid triumphed with a 3-1 score, securing an overall 6-3 aggregate victory in their knockout stage.
