Real pays for fans’ racist behavior
Print Edition
CHAMPIONS League winner Real Madrid was punished by UEFA yesterday for racist behavior by its fans during a semifinal match against Germany’s Bayern Munich.
Two sections of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium — sectors 120 and 122 — will be closed for the club’s first home match in the Champions League group stage next season. “Real Madrid are obliged to display a banner with the wording ‘No to Racism’ in those sectors,” UEFA said.
UEFA did not specify details of the racist abuse during Real’s 1-0 win over Bayern on April 23. Real won the second leg 4-0 in Munich. Real beat city rival Atletico Madrid 4-1 in extra time to win its 10th European title last Saturday.
It marks the latest racial abuse incident in Spain in recent months, including two cases involving Atletico.
Without naming Spain, UEFA reminded its member federations this month to take a tougher line on racist incidents.
