UEFA Fines Real Madrid For 'Discriminatory Behaviour' In Champions League

Real Madrid were on Friday punished for the behaviour of their fans during the second leg of the Champions League play-off against Manchester City. In the decision, UEFA, the governing body of European football, found Real's fans guilty of "discriminatory behaviour". Neither the television footage nor journalists present reported any incidents during Madrid's 3-1 home victory on February 19 over Manchester City that sent the reigning champions through to the last 16. The statement said the fans had violated article 14 of UEFA's disciplinary regulations, which punishes "racism, other discriminatory behaviour and propaganda".

Champions League Talking Points as Kylian Mbappe Leaves Pep Guardiola's Manchester City Comfortably Numb At Santiago Bernabeu

Erling Haaland benched, Ruben Dias left on the floor and Josko Gvardiol ended up sliding - Kylian Mbappe co-directed a magical night with Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday. Mercurial Mbappe fired a stunning hat-trick to dump Pep Guardiola's Manchester City out of the UEFA Champions League as the record-time winners made a mockery of the blockbuster tie at home.

'Nothing Lasts Forever' As Pep Guardiola Laments 'Worst' Man City Season

Pep Guardiola conceded Manchester City need a rebuild after being swept aside by a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick as Real Madrid progressed to the last 16 of the Champions League 6-3 on aggregate. Mbappe fired the 15-time winners to a 3-1 second leg win on Wednesday, but much of the damage had already been done for City by conceding two late goals to lose the home leg 3-2 last week. It is the third time in four seasons that City have been knocked out by the Spanish giants, but the first time since Guardiola joined in 2016 that the English champions have failed to reach the last 16.

PSG hit seven to set up Champions League clash with Liverpool or Barcelona

PARIS: Paris Saint-Germain can look forward to a showdown with either Liverpool or Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League after mercilessly crushing French rivals Brest 7-0 on Wednesday to win their play-off round tie 10-0 on aggregate. PSG were always overwhelming favorites to beat Brest and effectively killed off the tie with a 3-0 win in Brittany in the first leg last week. There were seven different goal-scorers in the return at the Parc des Princes, with Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, Desire Doue, Nuno Mendes, Goncalo Ramos and Senny Mayulu netting for the home side. It is PSG’s record winning margin in a European game and the first time they have scored seven in the Champions League since they trounced Celtic 7-1 in November 2017. PSG scored just three goals in their first five Champions League matches this season, but have found the net 21 times in five outings since then. Their dominant display here came despite Ousmane Dembele failing to add to the 18 goals he had netted in his previous 12 appearances for Luis Enrique’s side. It was an agonizing way for Brest to end their first-ever European campaign, after they made it to the knockout stages following a historic third-place finish in Ligue 1 last season. Being drawn against PSG was an anti-climax for Brest.
