Atletico Madrid lost 0-4 to Arsenal away in the Champions League a month ago. Now the club is also being fined after fans made monkey noises and Nazi salutes in the stands.

The European Football Association, Uefa, has fined Atletico Madrid 30,000 euros, which is equivalent to around 330,000 kronor. The club must pay an additional 10,000 euros, around 110,000 kronor, for objects thrown during the match.

Atletico Madrid was also given a one-year probationary period by UEFA, where the team risks being banned from selling tickets to an away match in European competition in the event of new incidents.
