Official : Galatasaray fined €40,000 and fans barred after violent incidents against Juventus

Galatasaray have been fined €40,000 and the club cannot have fans at their next Champions League away fixture as punishment for fan trouble against Juventus.

The fine and ban were both confirmed by a statement on the official Galatasaray website.

These incidents occurred in the second leg of the Champions League play-off, which was at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin on February 25.

Why Galatasaray fans banned after Juventus Stadium incidents

Local sources report circa 50 had tried to enter the stadium without a valid ticket, breaking down a barrier and damaging the buses that ferried them from the city centre to the arena.

Another incident saw fans throw a firework into the Curva Nord section, injuring a man and his daughter, who needed hospital treatment.

The fan responsible was identified and charged as he left the stadium at the final whistle.

Supporters clashed with local police before the match, which saw Juventus wipe out a 5-2 first leg deficit to force extra time even down to 10 men.

They eventually capitulated with a 3-2 victory on the night in extra time, going out 7-5 on aggregate.

Galatasaray therefore cannot have their supporters present for the away leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool.
