Following racist chants and monkey cries directed at Yaya Touré during a Champions League match between Manchester City and CSKA Moscow, UEFA has taken action. The UEFA disciplinary council has decided to sanction CSKA Moscow by closing part of the stands at the Arena Khimki for their next Champions League match against Bayern Munich. This measure serves as a response to the racist behavior exhibited by some of the club’s supporters.
Yaya Touré had expressed his anger after the match, and the incident sparked discussions about racism in football. The UEFA decision aims to send a clear message against discriminatory actions within football stadiums.
