The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has fined Real Madrid for the racist and discriminatory behavior of a section of its 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 resolution, which can be consulted on the UEFA website, the stadium closure will not be executed immediately. UEFA has granted a probationary period of one year from the date of the decision.
What does this mean? If incidents of this nature do not recur at the Santiago Bernabéu over the next twelve months, the sanction regarding the closure of stands will be nullified. However, a recurrence would automatically trigger the closure of that section, along with possible new aggravated sanctions.
