Atletico Madrid must shut off 5,000 seats for the Man City game
Key takeaways:
- Kevin de Bruyne handed Manchester City a 1-0 benefit in the first leg against Atletico Madrid.
- Atletico Madrid must shut a portion of their stadium for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Manchester City, Uefa has ruled.
The Spanish champions must shut off at least 5,000 seats at the 68,456-capacity Wanda Metropolitano.
Uefa's penalty is for the "biased behavior" of Atletico fans during last week's first-leg game in Manchester, where City succeeded 1-0.
Atletico will also declare a Uefa banner reading "#NoToRacism".
Meanwhile, Uefa has stopped Roma goalkeeper coach Nuno Santos and Bodo/Glimt leader Kjetil Knutsen. At the same time, they probe an alleged conflict between the two in the aftermath of last Thursday's Europa Conference League match.
Bodo/Glimt claimed a 2-1 win over Jose Mourinho's Roma team in the first leg of the quarter-final.
The Norwegian club released a report that said they had video proof of boss Knutsen being pounded by Roma's support staff members, including Santos.
In reply to Uefa's determination to suspend Knutsen, Bodo/Glimt stated: "We are surprised and amazed by Uefa's decision. We will demand and will work on it throughout the night.
Beyond that, we presently have no words."
