Europa League: Marseille sanctioned by UEFA after Olympiacos game
UEFA has fined Olympique de Marseille following the incidents that occurred during the Europa League match against Olympiacos, according to RMC Sport, Onze Mondial and But Football Club.
UEFA has sanctioned Olympique de Marseille following the disturbances that marked the Europa League match against Olympiacos on 15 October. The information is reported by RMC Sport, which headlines a sanction from the European body, and confirmed by Onze Mondial and But Football Club.
A fine described as heavy
According to But Football Club, UEFA has imposed a substantial fine on Marseille due to the behaviour of their supporters during this 0-1 defeat. The outlet specifies that the Marseille fans had made themselves noticed during the game. Onze Mondial, for its part, mentions an "XXL fine" and speaks of new bad financial news for the club after this Europa League home match.
An already tense financial context
This sanction adds to a series of financial difficulties for Marseille, according to Onze Mondial. The club will therefore have to absorb this unexpected expense, even though the exact amount of the fine has not been specified by the available sources. The three outlets agree that the sanction follows the incidents during the match against Olympiacos, but none gives a precise figure.
