UEFA Bans Simeone for One Match in Champions League as Liverpool Fined Over Fan Misconduct

The ruling stems from his Anfield red card after a stoppage-time winner, with no finding on a reported spitting claim.

Overview

  • UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body issued a one-match suspension to the Atlético Madrid manager for unsporting conduct.
  • Liverpool were fined €4,000 for objects thrown by supporters during the match at Anfield.
  • The dismissal followed Virgil van Dijk’s 92nd-minute winner and a confrontation involving a home fan near the visiting dugout.
  • Diego Simeone later expressed regret for his reaction and said he had been insulted throughout the game.
  • UEFA’s published decision made no reference to an alleged spitting incident involving Atlético staff, and no separate sanction was announced.
