Roma hit by UEFA action
Monday 15 December, 2008

Roma have been fined by UEFA for crowd trouble during their Champions League clash with Chelsea.

UEFA issued a number of fines today for the misbehaviour of supporters with Marseille, Feyenoord and Deportivo La Coruna being charged.

Roma were hit by a sanction of around £18,000 after scenes at their Stadio Olimpico fixture with Chelsea on November 4.

Some fans lit flared and blocked passageways during the game, contravening UEFA's laws on spectator conduct.

The Giallorossi were also involved in trouble on the terraces during the first game of the season against Napoli.

Fans in the Eternal City have been warned to behave themselves or risk losing the right to stage the Champions League Final.
