UEFA fine Sevilla just £4,319 for fans' racist abuse of Manchester City teenager

Sevilla have been fined €5,000 (£4,319) for the racist behaviour of their fans during last month’s Champions League defeat away to Manchester City.

Announcing the paltry financial punishment, UEFA said that it would impose a partial closure of 1,000 seats at their Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium for one game - but that is also suspended for two years.

City teenager Rico Lewis received racist abuse after scoring the equaliser in his first senior start for the club. City went on to win 3-1 with the full back, who has since turned 18, saying “I won’t forget this day for the rest of my life.”
