Paris Saint-Germain has been slapped with a hefty 150,000-euro fine following its fans' misconduct during the Champions League final. The fine was imposed for several offenses, including the removal of turf and displaying a controversial "UEFA Mafia" banner.
UEFA's disciplinary panel issued fines for six charges, emphasizing that the displayed message was deemed inappropriate for a sports event. The club secured its first Champions League title with a decisive 5-0 victory over Inter Milan on May 31.
The largest portion of the fine, 100,000 euros, resulted from fans invading the pitch and lighting fireworks. Additional sanctions included an 8,000-euro fine for "acts of damage" and potential ticket sales restrictions deferred over the next two years.
