NYON, Switzerland (AP) — Atletico Madrid was fined and put on probation by UEFA on Thursday as punishment for racist behavior by fans at a Champions League game against Arsenal. Atletico had been charged with “racist and/or discriminatory behavior” for fans making money noises and Nazi salutes at a 4-0 loss in London last month. Fans of Atletico have previously targeted Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior, who is Black, with similar racial abuse.
