Atletico-PSV in empty stadium

PSV, the following week Wednesday in the uitwedstrijd of the Champions League against Atletico Madrid without supporters set. The International Criminal Tribunal for Sport (CAS) spent the retribution of the Madrid opponent to a duel while back behind closed doors, but that is thus precisely the duel with the Eindhoven alike. The disciplinary committee of UEFA fined Atletico Madrid for riots during the Champions League home match against Olympique Marseille (2-1). A video camera made images of the disturbances in the Vicente Calderon stadium. The Spanish club from John Heitinga had initially three home duels at least 300 kilometers outside their own stadium finish, including one conditional, with a probationary period of five years. Atletico drew with professional success, but also with the reduced penalty (two duels without an audience whose contingent), the Spanish clubleiding not agree. Ultimately, the CAS has now determined the sentence in a match behind closed doors and a fine of 75,000 euros. According PSV had about five hundred fans in advance whether an access card and / or a ticket for the uitwedstrijd bought in Madrid. The Eindhoven club has already promised the already purchased tickets to compensate.
