UEFA punishes Atletico over racist banner at Europa League final LaLiga - Atletico Madrid The Spanish side must close a section of their ground, including 3,000 seats

UEFA has punished Atletico Madrid after fans held up a racist banner in the Europa League final against Olympique Marseille, European football's governing body said on Thursday.

The Spanish side must close a section of their ground, including 3,000 seats, in their next home match in European competition.

Atletico were also fined after fans set off fireworks during the 3-0 win Lyon, France, last month.

Marseille have been charged over crowd disturbances, fireworks, throwing objects, acts of damage and a late kick-off, though UEFA has not yet met to discuss this case.
