Atletico Madrid was fined and placed on probation by UEFA on Thursday as punishment for racist behavior by fans during a Champions League match against Arsenal.
Atletico was accused of ‘racist and/or discriminatory behaviour’ for fans making money noises and giving Nazi salutes during a 4-0 defeat in London last month.

Atletico fans have previously targeted Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior with similar racist abuse.
UEFA fined Atletico 30,000 euros ($35,000) and ordered a one-match ban on selling tickets to fans for a European away match, which was suspended with a one-year probationary period.
Atletico must also pay a €10,000 fine for fans throwing objects at Arsenal’s stadium.
