Real Madrid has been fined 15,000 euros ($17,364) after a fan was spotted giving a Nazi salute during last week’s Champions League play-off match against Benfica, UEFA said on Friday.
Real Madrid said after the match that they had asked the club’s disciplinary committee to «initiate immediate expulsion proceedings for the member» who was caught on camera performing the Nazi salute.
«This member was identified by the club’s security staff shortly after he appeared on air and was immediately expelled from the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium,» Real Madrid said in a statement condemning the gesture.
UEFA fined Real Madrid and also ordered the partial closure of the stadium – 500 adjacent seats in the lower south stand – for one match. However, that sentence is suspended for one year.
Real Madrid defeated Benfica 2–1 and advanced to the last sixteen with a 3–1 aggregate victory. More info: hsw5. In the next round they will play against Manchester City.
