Madrid. This Thursday, UEFA condemned FC Barcelona not to bring fans to its next Champions League match and to pay a fine of 10,000 euros ($11,162) for a banner with a Nazi reference displayed by its fans in Monaco on December 19. September.
In that match on the first day of this edition of the Champions League, in which Monaco won 2-1, some Barcelona fans showed a sign that read “Flick Heil”, echoing the Nazi salute “Sieg Heil”, in reference to his club’s German coach, Hansi Flick.
The Spanish club issued a statement to inform “that it will abide by and apply this sanction in the matchday four of the UEFA Champions League that the team will play against Red Star in Belgrade on November 6.”
“FC Barcelona rejects any type of apology for violence and, as stated in articles 3 and 4 of its Statutes, will ensure the protection and promotion of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” he added.
Likewise, it announced that “it will reinforce current measures and undertake additional actions that are appropriate to prevent these events from being repeated in the future as well as to punish those responsible.”
