Al -Malab newspaper –
The European Football Association (UEFA) has announced the signing of a fine of Real Madrid, of 15,000 euros, as a result of racist actions issued by some of its fans.
These actions came during the Arsenal confrontation in the first leg of the Champions League quarter -final, which was held at the Emirates Stadium and ended with the loss of the Spanish team with three clean.
Although Real Madrid won 2-1 at the “Santiago Bernabeu” stadium, the heavy defeat in the first leg caused his leaving the championship.
The first leg witnessed events described by the Uyiva Disciplinary Committee as “racist”, which necessitated the imposition of the financial punishment on the Royal Club.
Suspended
The decision also included a ban on the sale of tickets to Real Madrid fans in the next foreign match in European competitions, but this ban will be activated, in the event of a repeat of the accident within a year.
The “Relevo” network reported that this is not the first time that Real Madrid has been subjected to such sanctions, as it was previously fined on previous occasions due to the behavior of its fans.
This punishment is part of the UEFA campaign to combat racism in football, which aims to tighten measures against any manifestations of discrimination inside the stadiums.
