Following off-the-pitch incidents that marred Roma's 5-1 Champions League win over CSKA Moscow in September, UEFA announced on Friday that they've ordered the Russian club to play their next three UEFA competition home matches behind closed doors.

The charge stems from the racist behaviour of supporters, crowd disturbance, and the setting off and throwing of fireworks and missiles, and CSKA have also been slapped with a €200,000 fine and are banned from selling tickets to their supporters for the club's two upcoming Champions League fixtures at the Luzhniki Stadium.

As a result, Manchester City and Roma will be forced to play behind closed doors when they visit CSKA on Oct. 21 and Nov. 25, respectively.

Of note is the fact that Yaya Toure was racially abused when City visited the Russian club last season, which led to CSKA being hit with a partial closure. A repeat offense then led to Tuesday's Champions League fixture versus Bayern Munich being played behind closed doors, a match that the reigning Bundesliga champions won 1-0.

When CSKA visited Roma last month, flares were lit and thrown on to the pitch, scuffles broke out in the stands, and a banner containing a racial slur was unfurled.
