Barcelona have been banned from selling tickets to their fans for their next Champions League away game following incidents of racist behavior by their supporters during a match against Monaco, UEFA announced on Friday.
UEFA also fined Barcelona 10,000 euros and imposed an additional one-match ban from selling away tickets, suspended for a year. Monaco defeated Barcelona 2-1 at Louis-II stadium last week.
