Last week, Barcelona put in a special performance at Parc des Princes as they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
However, they were unable to capitalise on their victory as a 1-4 defeat in the second leg at home earlier this week led to Barça being eliminated from the competition.
As Barcelona deal with the aftermath of their exit from Europe’s premier tournament, UEFA has now hit them with fresh sanctions due to the behaviour of the club’s supporters last week in Paris.
Barcelona fined €32,000 for various reasons
Indeed, as confirmed by UEFA, Barcelona have been hit with a fine of €32,000 in total for multiple breaches committed by their fans during last week’s match at Parc des Princes.
On Thursday, UEFA published the sanctions that the Appeals Body has ruled against FC Barcelona for the incidents in the match against PSG.
The European body has charged the Catalan club with three counts – acts of damage, setting off fireworks and racist behaviour, the details of which are as follows:
FC Barcelona fined €2,000 for setting off fireworks.
FC Barcelona fined €5,000 for acts of damage.
FC Barcelona are ordered to contact Paris Saint-Germain within 30 days for the repair of the damage caused by its supporters, i.e. for the damaged seats.
FC Barcelona be fined 25.000 and FC Barcelona be banned from selling tickets to its away supporters for its next (1) UEFA competition match, for the racist behaviour of its supporters. This ban on the sale of tickets to away supporters is suspended for a probationary period of one year from the date of this decision.
In total, UEFA fined Barça €32,000 for these three reasons and included a ban on selling tickets to its fans for the next away game in the competition, although it suspended the ban for one year on a provisional basis.
