Barcelona Fined, Ticket Sales Banned by UEFA

Barcelona has been banned from selling tickets for their next Champions League away game against Red Star Belgrade on November 6 due to racist behavior by their supporters. UEFA fined the club €10,000 and enforced a suspended ban previously issued after similar incidents during a match against Paris Saint-Germain in April. The recent incident involved a black flag with the words 'Flick Heil', referencing the team's German coach Hansi Flick with Nazi overtones, displayed during a 2-1 defeat against AS Monaco. This punishment includes another one-year suspended ban, which will be triggered if further breaches occur. Barca's Vice President Elena Fort condemned the behavior, calling it 'disgraceful' and 'disgusting.'
