UEFA fined FC Barcelona 25,000 euros for the "racist behavior of its supporters" Two supporters were arrested in Paris on April 10 for Nazi salutes during the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Barcelona. The Catalan club was also banned from selling tickets for its supporters to travel to their next match in a UEFA competition, a sanction with a one-year reprieve from the decision.

One of them, suspected of having made monkey cries, was released without prosecution, the investigations having "failed to characterize the facts", according to French justice. The other, who made Nazisalutes, was also released and will be summoned again for a hearing on these facts "likely to be qualified as an apology for a crime" on a date which has not been specified, a source said.
