Title: UEFA Punishes Barcelona and Orders Compensation to Paris Saint-Germain

The UEFA has imposed a fine of 25,000 euros on Barcelona due to some of its fans displaying Nazi salutes and making monkey gestures during the match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. The European football governing body stated that the accusation of "racist behavior" against Barcelona's fans came after images circulated showing the misconduct of some "Barça" supporters at the "Parc des Princes" stadium in Paris on April 10. UEFA also ordered FC Barcelona to compensate Paris Saint-Germain for the damage caused by its fans to the seats at the "Parc des Princes" stadium and to pay additional fines totaling 7,000 euros. Barcelona had defeated their host, PSG, 3-2 in the first leg but lost the return match at home last Tuesday, with a score of 4-1, thus exiting the continental competition.
