Galatasaray will not be able to sell tickets to its fans for this month’s Champions League clash at Liverpool, after UEFA’s Appeals Body confirmed the sanctions it received over its supporters throwing objects, lighting fireworks and causing disturbances during last week’s trip to Juventus.
Media reports said a man and his daughter were injured as a firework was thrown towards Juventus fans in Turin where the Italian club, down to 10 men, wiped out a three-goal deficit from a 5-2 loss in the first leg to force extra time in their Champions League playoff tie.
Turkish champion Galatasaray, which scored twice in extra time to qualify for the round of 16 with a 7-5 aggregate win, was also fined 40,000 euros ($46,000) by UEFA’s disciplinary committee for the fans’ behaviour.
