UEFA fines Madrid for racism, warns Bernabéu could face closure
The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has fined Real Madrid for the racist and discriminatory behavior of a section of their fans during the last Champions League match against Benfica.
The club must pay a fine of 15,000 euros and also comply with the closure of 500 seats in the lower south stand (Fondo Sur) for the next international match at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Despite the firmness of the decision, the stadium closure will not be enforced immediately. UEFA has granted a one-year probation period starting from the date of the decision.
