‘Oh no’, ‘Uefa at it again’ – Some Man City Fans react as Club Handed Fine Over Champions League Pitch Invasion

Manchester City have been fined by UEFA following a pitch invasion incident after their 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Despite being drawn alongside European heavyweights in Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig, City won their Champions League group with a game to spare.

The last-16 draw sees the Premier League champions face Sporting CP side in February and March, after initially being drawn to square up against Europa League champions Villarreal.

As per the Press Association, Manchester City have been fined a sum of €5,000 by UEFA’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body, due to a pitch invasion that followed their 2-1 win in the Champions League against PSG at the Etihad Stadium on 24th November.

Pep Guardiola’s side are not the only English club to be imposed with a fine, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur having to pay their dues after similar incidents.

The news was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters, who already have a hostile attitude towards UEFA and the Champions League.

We were fined a quarter of what Porto were for whole sections of their crowd chanting racist abuse at Mario Balotelli and Yaya Toure because a 7 year-old kid ran onto the pitch to get Bernardo Silva’s shirt after the game had finished and some of you still wonder why we boo UEFA. https://t.co/gLnxNxhxs1 pic.twitter.com/8FAzuB1QZb
