The Spanish giants will have to pay 32 000 euros

Barcelona has been hit with a fine for racist behavior and other misconduct by their fans during their Champions League quarter-final first leg match against Paris St-Germain.

Aside from the racism, UEFA also charged Barcelona for their supporters’ actions of lighting fireworks and causing damage at the Parc des Princes.

The Spanish club is required to pay a fine of 32,000 euros. Despite winning 3-2 in Paris, Barcelona suffered a 4-1 defeat in Tuesday’s reverse fixture at home, leading to their exit from the Champions League.

In addition to the fine, Barcelona has been sanctioned with a ban on selling away tickets to their supporters for their next UEFA competition match due to the racist behavior. However, the ban is suspended for a probationary period of one year.

Furthermore, Barcelona is obligated to reach out to Paris St-Germain within 30 days to address and resolve the damages caused by their supporters in the stadium.
