UEFA has fined Real Madrid €15,000 following racist chants by their supporters during the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal in London. The match, held at the Emirates Stadium, was one of the most intense fixtures of the knockout stage.

The disciplinary committee also imposed a one-year suspended ban on ticket sales for Real Madrid fans for away matches in UEFA competitions. This means that if similar incidents occur within the next year, the ban will be enforced, barring Real Madrid supporters from attending away games.

UEFA’s decision reflects its strict stance against racism in football, an issue that has become a major challenge in European stadiums. Real Madrid, one of the most prestigious clubs in the world, must now take necessary measures to prevent such behavior from recurring.
