Uefa has fined Tottenham Hotspur and given them a suspended ban from selling away tickets after three supporters made Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans.
The incident occurred during their Champions League fixture – which Spurs won 2-0 – at the German club’s Deutsche Bank Park on 28 January.
Uefa said it issued the ban for “the racist and/or discriminatory behaviour of its supporters” and it was “suspended for a probationary period of one year”.
Tottenham were fined £26,000 (30,000 euros) by European football’s governing body in addition to £1,966 (2,250 euros) for objects thrown by their supporters.
Spurs said the “conduct of a small number of fans” was “utterly abhorrent” and have issued them with banning orders.
“We can confirm that all three individuals found to be making Nazi salutes towards Eintracht Frankfurt fans have been identified and have received indefinite bans under the club’s sanctions and banning policy,” said Spurs.
“The club stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and has therefore taken the strongest possible action. The disgusting behaviour of a minority of so-called fans on the night is in no way reflective of the values of our club and its supporters.”
Last week, Real Madrid launched an investigation after a supporter allegedly performed a Nazi salute before the club’s Champions League win against Benfica.-BBC
