"UEFA have fined the club €30,500 for what happened that night. €15,500 is tied to flares lit by Barça supporters in the stands, a breach of Article 16(c) of the disciplinary regulations. The remaining €15,000 relates to the team taking too long to reappear after the interval. And that last part reflected on Hansi Flick. UEFA have issued him a formal warning, holding the coach responsible for the delay."
"Slavia Prague have their own problems. The Czech club were fined €20,000 for blocking spectator passageways and another €20,000 for flares. UEFA have also ordered a partial closure of the Eden Arena for their next European fixture, although that sanction has been suspended for two years. The amount is fairly manageable for Barça, although of course, not welcome. The worst part was that it was avoidable: European nights are demanding enough without adding small, self-inflicted issues to the mix."
