UEFA fines Barcelona €19k for pitch celebration against PSG

UEFA have fined Barcelona €19,000 for the pitch invasion by supporters which occurred following their Champions League comeback victory over Paris Saint-Germain at the Camp Nou.

Barca overturned a 4-0 first-leg deficit with an improbable 6-1 win in the return match which culminated with a Sergio Roberto goal deep into stoppage time.

The right-back's goal sparked wild celebrations on the Camp Nou pitch, with players, staff and fans rushing to join the players on the field in triumph.

Included in the fine was also a sanction for "improper conduct of the team" as the Blaugrana collected five yellow cards over the course of the match.

Additionally, UEFA announced a fine of €38,000 to Napoli for their fans' conduct during the second-leg Champions League home tie against Real Madrid.

The Serie A club had been charged with fans' use of a laser pointer, blocking stairways, throwing objects and setting off fireworks during Napoli's 3-1 loss to the La Liga side.
