Club Atlético de Madrid have been handed a stadium ban for three UEFA club competition matches by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Committee, following incidents at the UEFA Champions League Group D game against Olympique de Marseille on 1 October.
€150,000 fine
The ban for the third UEFA club competition match is deferred for a probationary period of five years meaning that if Atlético progress to the knockout stages they could be allowed to return to the Vicente Calderón. Atlético were charged with a lack of organisation during the OM match, which led to crowd incidents, and for the improper conduct of their supporters. The Spanish club were also fined €150,000 for the offences. Consequently, Atlético must play their next two home UEFA Champions League matches in a stadium situated at least 300km from Madrid. The two-match stadium ban will apply to Atlético's games against Liverpool FC on 22 October, and against PSV Eindhoven on 26 November.
Aguirre ban
Meanwhile Atlético coach Javier Aguirre has been banned from carrying out his function for two UEFA club competition matches. The ban applies to the home match against Liverpool on 22 October, and the away meeting against the same opposition on 4 November. Aguirre was punished for conduct during the match which was contrary to the provisions of Article 5 of the UEFA disciplinary regulations (click here). He will not be allowed at an official event during and after the match, or in the tunnel, technical area or dressing-room. Any communication with the team is also forbidden. Appeals may be lodged by 17 October at 12.00CET.
