UEFA opens a file on episodes between Marseille and PAOK fans

In an apology from UEFA, Marseille and PAOK were, as expected, called out by fans of both teams before the game started but also after it ended for the episodes that took place in the Velontrom stands.

UEFA issued a statement relating specifically to the events in Marseille, urging the two teams to apologize for almost the same reasons, which have to do with throwing objects, throwing firecrackers and incidents.

The trial before the UEFA Disciplinary Committee will take place on Green Wednesday (20/4), six days after Toumba’s second leg.
