The Dutch club Feyenoord was sanctioned by UEFA after racist incidents among its supporters at the Camp Nou during the match against Barça, with the disciplinary committee delivering its decision on Saturday and imposing a fine of €25,000.
The match between Barça and Feyenoord ended 5‑1, but was marred by racist behaviour from some Dutch supporters. These incidents triggered a UEFA investigation that resulted in the sanction.
