Punished clubs

While FIFA is giving money to international teams, UEFA is punishing its club members from both European league competitions. From last and this week the organization is going to collect (pretty) large amount of sum.
We begin from last week at the 'strongest' tournament where Sporting Clube de Portugal is penalized in a game against Barcelona. The Portuguese club has to deliver 31.000 euros because their spectators were 'guilty' of field invasion and blocking stairways. For the next case forbidden banner, fireworks and blocked stairways Spartak Moscow fans who were watching the game against Liverpool in Russian capital. Thus the team has to pay 33.000 euros. The away side Basel is guilty because their fans set plenty of fireworks in a match versus Manchester United. Swiss team will give 12.000 euros. PSG is penalized 2 times: once with 40.000 euros for fireworks, blocked stairways from their fans and late kick-off against Bayern Munich with additional 5.000 euros versus Celtic because French fans damaged the stadium in Scotland. However, the home side is disciplined double (10.000 euros) due to field invasion. Fireworks are the only reason why Anderlecht have to say goodbye of 7.000 euros in a match against Bayern Munich. Twenty five thousand euros have to 'donate' Besiktas because stairways were blocked and their stadium went darkness in one section as they experienced light failure. Those small incident happened against RasenBallsport Leipzig.
Over in the Europa league where BATE Borisov spectators invaded the pitch after the match against Arsenal. For those anxious fans the Belorussian team has to 'donate' 5.000 euros. Koln and Crvena Zvezda are both punished from the second leg. Poor organisation of the game, object throwing and lots of fireworks the home team have to give 30.000 euros. Meanwhile half of that amount are going to the visitors for object throwing and fireworks. Our third case in this tournament is Olympique de Marseille - Konyaspor game. Because of fireworks and those 'damn' objects on the pitch the host team will say goodbye to 14.000 euros plus closing of one section of their stadium for their next home game. And last, Rijeka has to give 40.000 euros due to lots of fireworks from Croatian fans from the match against Milan. On top of that the club is forbidden to sell tickets for their fans for next away game against AEK in leg 5 in Athens.
Disciplinary actions are in process for three more teams, but because these money are enough for now for UEFA, punishments for Everton, Roma and APOEL Nicosia will be known on 16 November.
