UEFA Imposes Fines and Suspensions on Barcelona for Semi-Final Breaches

The move underscores UEFA’s strengthened disciplinary regime by sidelining coach Hansi Flick for the Champions League opener.

Overview

  • Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski were each fined €5,000 for ignoring orders from the UEFA doping control officer after the semi-final second leg against Inter Milan.
  • Barcelona must pay €5,250 for objects thrown by fans and €2,500 for fireworks used during the same match.
  • Coach Hansi Flick and assistant Marcus Sorg received one-match UEFA suspensions and €20,000 fines each for violating conduct regulations.
  • Flick will miss Barcelona’s Champions League opening game due to his suspension.
  • The latest sanctions follow a €15 million financial fair play penalty in July as UEFA steps up oversight of financial and behavioral compliance.
