May 25 – Liverpool and Manchester United have both been fined by UEFA for offensive chanting during their Europa League last-16 tie.
The arch-rivals have also been punished for the throwing of objects and crowd disturbances.
UEFA has fined them €20,000 each and has suspended slapping them with a further €20,000 sanction for a two-year probation period.
However, Liverpool must pay an additional €17,000 and have been ordered “to contact Manchester United FC within 30 days for the settlement of the damages caused by its supporters,” UEFA says. United must pay a further €18,000.
Rival fans were seen fighting in the stands, seats were thrown and flares were lit during the 1-1 second-leg draw at Old Trafford.
Some fans of both clubs sang songs related to tragedies involving the other side as Liverpool won the tie 3-1 on aggregate. UEFA were made aware of the allegations of chanting about the 1958 Munich air disaster and the 1989 Hillsborough stadium tragedy.
