The match between Barcelona and Benfica ended not only with the Portuguese team being knocked out of the Champions League, but also with potential trouble from UEFA.
Details: The "Eagles" fans in the away section lit nearly twenty flares and attempted to breach barriers to reach the stewards who were extinguishing the flares.
The game was interrupted due to the flares as the smoke enveloped the field, reducing visibility. UEFA is currently awaiting the match report from delegate Metin Kazancoglu, according to TV3, and will make a decision after reviewing it.
The punishment for Benfica could range from a significant financial penalty to the closure of the away section or partial closure of their own stadium for UEFA-sanctioned matches.
Reminder: After this match, Lamine Yamal posted a photo with Gavi.
