UEFA fines PSG for misbehaving fans at the Champions League final

The European soccer governing body, UEFA, announced on Thursday that Paris St. Germain had been penalized for misbehavior by its supporters during the team’s victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League final in May.

Following a pitch invasion by fans, fireworks, object throwing, property damage, and the exhibition of an offensive message, the French champions—who defeated Inter 5-0 at the Allianz Arena in Munich—were punished.

Following the whistle, thousands of PSG supporters poured onto the field to celebrate the team’s first European Cup victory. Stewards found it difficult to maintain control as many supporters from behind the goal poured onto the field.

PSG was fined a total of 148,000 euros ($169,208.40), with the use of pyrotechnics and pitch invasion resulting in the largest penalty.

Additionally, PSG’s away ticket sales for one UEFA match were banned by the Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Body of UEFA, with a two-year suspension.
