Barcelona has been fined over $40,000 AUD by UEFA after their fans used Nazi salutes and monkey gestures at a Champions League game against PSG last week.
The governing body said the proven charge of “racist behavior” followed images circulating of misconduct by some fans at Parc des Princes on April 11 (AEST).
UEFA also deferred a one-game ban on selling tickets to Barcelona fans for an away game in the Champions League next season for a probationary period of one year.

Barcelona also was ordered to compensate PSG for damage to seats by fans and pay additional fines totaling $11,500.
Barcelona won 3-2 in Paris in the first leg of the quarterfinals, but were eliminated earlier this week after losing 4-1 in the home leg.
World soccer body FIFA is set to launch a new drive against racism next month at its annual congress meeting, being held in Bangkok, Thailand.
