MADRID: Uefa fined Real Madrid €15,000 (US$17,000) on Friday after one of their fans performed a Nazi salute before a Champions League match last week.
The European football governing body’s disciplinary board also issued Real with a partial stadium closure of 500 seats, suspended for a one-year probationary period.
Uefa punished Madrid “for the racist and/or discriminatory behaviour of its supporters” in the second leg of their play-off round victory over Benfica on Feb 25, European football’s governing body said in a statement.
