UEFA Sanctions Roma, Frankfurt, Twente for Crowd Misconduct

Celtic FC has received two UEFA charges following their Champions League match against Aston Villa, resulting in a €10,000 fine for fans lighting and throwing fireworks during the game. The clash ended in a 4-2 defeat for Celtic, who still qualified for the playoffs to face Bayern Munich. As Brendan Rodgers prepares for these critical matches, concerns about a potential ban on traveling fans loom due to the recent charges, which could impact the atmosphere at the Allianz Arena. This situation serves as a warning to fans about the consequences of pyrotechnics, with stricter penalties possible if offenses continue. In related news, AS Roma and Eintracht Frankfurt faced sanctions from UEFA for similar fan misconduct during a Europa League match, highlighting an ongoing issue with crowd behavior across European football. Both clubs received fines and, in Roma's case, a partial stadium closure for future matches.
