Due to fan conduct in European competitions, UEFA has fined Bayern Munich and threatened to ban fans from subsequent away games.
Bayern published a statement on Monday, stating that the club had been fined for “the use of prohibited fireworks and pyrotechnics, as well as the throwing of objects from the FC Bayern fan block at Champions League matches.”
While the penalty applies to numerous games, it was given “in particular” for supporter behaviour “at the away match at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen” in October, which Bayern won 2-1.
In addition to the 40,000-euro ($43,000) fine, Bayern has been barred from acquiring tickets in the away section for its next European match.
The ban is in place for two years, but it will be reinstated if there is more fan misconduct.
Following the suspension of the ban, Bayern issued a “urgent appeal” to fans on Monday to “refrain from using pyrotechnics in the stadium in the future and to desist from any further misconduct.”
“All travelling (away) Bayern fans would be affected by the consequences” .
Bayern, who finished first in their group, will travel to Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Man United, who were defeated 4-3 in Munich in September, must defeat the German champions and hope that other results go their way in order to remain in the competition.
