"UEFA took the decision on separate counts of the throwing of objects, lighting of fireworks and crowd disturbances in Turin. Around 400 'ultras' - fans known for their fanatical support - lit torches and firecrackers at a meeting point to take transport to the stadium before the game, according to Ansa, which reported that the supporters also damaged shuttle buses."
"A firecracker was thrown from the away section towards the Curva Nord area of the home section, the outlet added, with a father and daughter injured by the resulting explosion and taken to hospital for checks."
"Following a Champions League group stage match against Manchester United at Old Trafford in October 2023, UEFA handed Galatasaray a one-match away fan ban - suspended for two years - and a fine of 51,500 euros (around £45,000). Those punishments related to the same three counts, as well as acts of damage in the away end at Old Trafford."
Galatasaray has been sanctioned by UEFA following misconduct by their supporters during a February 25 visit to Juventus. The punishment includes a one-match ban on selling tickets for European away matches and a €40,000 fine. The sanctions stem from throwing objects, lighting fireworks, and crowd disturbances. Approximately 400 ultras lit torches and firecrackers at a transport meeting point, damaged shuttle buses, and some broke through a gate to access restricted stadium areas. A firecracker thrown toward the home section injured a father and daughter. Galatasaray plans to appeal the decision before their Champions League last-16 second leg against Liverpool. This follows a previous suspended ban from a 2023 Manchester United match.
