Paris
St Germain have been sanctioned by UEFA after their fans were found guilty
of abusing disabled Chelsea supporters in Paris last season.
UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary board ordered PSG to close two
sections – 104 and 105 – of the Parc des Princes at their next home match in
the Champions League group stage.
The incident occurred during the Champions League quarter-final first leg on
April 2 which was won 3-1 by the French champions, with Chelsea winning the
return leg 2-0 to advance.
"The sanction has been imposed for the discriminatory conduct of some Paris
St Germain supporters towards disabled fans of Chelsea FC (Art. 14 of the
2014 UEFA Disciplinary Regulations)," UEFA said in a statement.
As French champions, PSG have qualified directly for the group stage this
season and the ban will apply at their first home game.
