Pinned for the “racist and/or discriminatory” behavior of its supporters against Monaco in the Champions League, Barça was notably fined 10,000 euros.
A slap on the wrist. FC Barcelona was sanctioned this Friday by UEFA for a controversial banner displayed by its supporters during the defeat in Monaco (2-1), on September 19, in the Champions League. On this banner brandished in a Louis-II tribune, the message “Flick Heil” was displayed with typography reminiscent of “Sieg Heil”, a Nazi slogan literally translating as “Hail to victory”.
Barça sanctioned for “racism and/or discriminatory behavior”
On the social network “Disgusting and sad that someone who claims to love the club acts like this. There is a limit to everything. This cannot happen again. Never again,” she reacted. In response, UEFA decided to fine Barça 10,000 euros for “racism and/or discriminatory behavior”.
Another sanction: Barça was banned from selling tickets to its supporters for its next European trip, scheduled for November 6 on the pitch of the Red Star in Belgrade for the fourth day of the Champions League. The Catalans’ next two C1 matches are scheduled at home against the Swiss Young Boys (October 1) and Bayern Munich (October 23).
