Uefa have ordered CSKA Moscow to play their next three European home matches behind closed doors.
The Uefa Control, Ethic and Disciplinary body took the decision after racist chanting and violence from the Russian champions’ supporters in last month’s UEFA Champions League Group E opening loss to AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
The governing body said in its statement: “The Russian team have also been fined €200,000. In addition, CSKA are banned from selling tickets to their fans for the next two UEFA Champions League group stage games which the club will play as the visiting side.”
