UEFA released an official disciplinary ruling over the inappropriate behaviour during Champions League match between Real Madrid and Benfica at Bernabeu.
Despite Real Madrid publicly denouncing their fans' actions during the Benfica match, UEFA has issued disciplinary sanctions against the club.
The Control, Ethics, and Discipline committee ordered a suspended, one-match partial closure of the Santiago Bernabeu due to "racist and/or discriminatory behaviour."
According to the official statement, this closure targets a 500-seat section near the lower south stand.
However, the ban will only be enforced if a similar incident occurs within the next 12 months. In addition to the suspended stadium ban, Los Blancos have been handed an immediate €15,000 fine.

I don't even understand UEFA, when madrid went Benfica they throw objects on madrid players but until no sanction has come for Benfica. Always investigation is ongoing. Uefa is now sanctioning madrid when benfica's sanctions has not come.
