UEFA Orders Eintracht Frankfurt to Pay Barcelona for Damages During Champions League Clash

UEFA has ordered Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt to pay Barcelona for the damage their fans caused during their Champions League clash at Camp Nou. 

According to RAC1, Barcelona are planning to demand €6,100 to cover the repairs for the damage to their newly renovated stadium.

Hansi Flick’s side also did not have a grand time on the pitch. Barcelona extended an alarming trend as an unlikely brace from Jules Kounde propelled them to a 2-1 win.

Frankfurt Fans Vandalised Camp Nou During Barcelona Clash

As per reports from the Spanish media, Eintracht Frankfurt supporters damaged several seats in the away stand, lit and threw flares, and damaged part of the barrier between home and away fans.

The visiting section’s restrooms were also vandalised, with broken fixtures and Eintracht Frankfurt stickers pasted to the walls.

Additionally, the Catalan police force also had to intervene multiple times during the game. They made five arrests, investigated over 10 people for theft and misdemeanour, and expelled 17 people from the stadium.

Twelve administrative complaints were registered over the course of the game.

After the game, Barcelona sent a detailed report to UEFA, detailing the nuisances they faced during the match. The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body investigated the matter and has now imposed some strict sanctions.

UEFA Imposes Two-Game Ban on Eintracht Frankfurt Fans

UEFA have handed Eintracht Frankfurt a hefty €38,000 fine and banned them from selling tickets to their fans for their next two European outings.

In their ruling, UEFA detailed that the fans violated multiple sections of Article 16 of the Disciplinary Regulations.

UEFA’s report read:

“[UEFA] Prohibit Eintracht Frankfurt from selling tickets to its visiting fans for the next UEFA club competition match for lighting and throwing fireworks and causing disturbances among the public.

“To fine Eintracht Frankfurt €30,000 and to prohibit it from selling tickets to its visiting fans for one (1) additional UEFA club competition match for setting off fireworks and throwing objects; and to fine Eintracht Frankfurt €8,000 for damage.”

That is not all. Frankfurt have to “contact FC Barcelona within 30 days of notification of this decision to repair the damage caused by its fans during the away match.”

Including Barcelona’s demand, Frankfurt are looking at a hefty bill of €44,100. The absence of away fans is also far from ideal for Frankfurt as they are facing an uphill battle to stay in the Champions League.

Frankfurt have only secured four points from their six UCL outings so far and are in 30th place in the league table.

They will face Qarabag FK away from home in their next potentially do-or-die encounter. Without their spirited supporters behind them, the already difficult challenge might get even harder.
