Real Madrid could face a partial stadium closure for homophobic abuse aimed at Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. The chant, which has been a frequent feature of Guardiola’s visits to the Santiago Bernabeu since his time as a Barcelona player has been punished for the first time by UEFA.
According to Sport, Real Madrid have been fined €30k and given a suspended sentence of a partial stadium ban for the next two years again. Should fans at the Bernabeu infringe on regulations again, then Los Blancos will have to close off 500 seats for the following game in European competition, being a relatively light punishment.
The song broke UEFA regulations, where if any person or group is insulted on the basis of their race, religion, origin, skin colour or gender, then the club responsible will face “a suspension lasting at least ten games or a specified period of time, or any other appropriate sanction.”
The song in question could be heard loudly on multiple occasions during Real Madrid’s 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League play-off. “Ay, Guardiola, how thin you look. First it was the drugs. Today you can be seen around Chueca,” were the words to the chant.
It references the HIV Aids crisis in the 1980s and 1990s amongst the gay community, which took the lives of so many. Chueca is a neighbourhood in Madrid famed for its openness and the presence of the LGBTQ+ community, and while Guardiola was a Barcelona player, it was rumoured that he was homosexual, something he later explained was false.
Real Madrid have moved to condemn discrimination in the past with public statements, but are yet to comment on the matter. Given the number of fans involved, it seems unlikely that further action will be taken. Earlier in the season, several fans were banned from the stadium for racially abusing Barcelona players.

it's normal guy when you are above others in terms of achievement, others would be like "why always you and not any other" and that is the beginning of malice.

If the chant is against any of their team members, it makes headlines. Funny how no one from Real Madrid has come out to speak against or condemn it until UEFA spoke. Hypocrisy! And this is a club canvasing for fair play?

Lolz 😂 😂. So, in your little mind Real Madrid is bigger than Manchester City. Could it be because Real is the European champions league Champions that made you say sure. OK, with your fake fan and team board strikes very soon the world will begin to know the motive behind that Madrid you call big after when your cheating planned are all upleashed. You know La Liga are about filing a court case against your so-called team for your team failing to pay match licenses in the pass years. Just sit there provoking other teams when your team did worse. The rebuild of your that stadium 🏟️ is from other sources which made the federation want to ban it. It's just coincidence with Pep Chans, but the main reason for the ban is the rule your team has tempered. Do read news before provoking people's team.

Why not you ban Man City with your own fake Financial rules. Let me tell you what you don't know: "the only trophy 🏆 man City will be winning is that charges you mentioned." If was the case won by the Premier league FA, Man City was dealt with since after the hearing. So, stop wasting your heart on such hatred and check something else viable.

what is 115 is as an idiot African living in a village of somewhere instead of focusing on your country Leagues now you tryna involve into the white league that you don't even know their rivalty. stop involving in this issues that you don't know, work hard for a living with your family to put a bread on the table for the daily basis. city is moving forward while the haters will regret their waisted time
