NYON, Switzerland (AP) — Atletico Madrid was fined and put on probation by UEFA on Thursday as punishment for racist behavior by fans at a Champions League game against Arsenal.
Atletico had been charged with “racist and/or discriminatory behavior” for fans making money noises and Nazi salutes at a 4-0 loss in London last month.
Fans of Atletico have previously targeted Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior, who is Black, with similar racial abuse.
UEFA fined Atletico 30,000 euros ($35,000) and ordered a one-game ban on selling tickets to fans for a European away game, which was deferred for one year of probation.
Atletico also must pay a fine of 10,000 euros ($11,600) for fans throwing objects at Arsenal’s stadium.
