Champions: Marseille-Sporting can be played behind closed doors

The match between Olympique de Marseille and Eintracht Frankfurt had already been declared a high-risk match days before it happened. And so it was.

Both fans lived up to the classification of the game and generated several altercations both in the Vélodrome stadium and in the surroundings of the sports venue. This has not gone unnoticed by UEFA, who are planning to impose a heavy punishment for the upcoming match at Marseille's stadium.

According to the daily L'Équipe, UEFA is considering the possibility that the third matchday of the Champions League group stage will be played behind closed doors. The game will take place three weeks from now, on Tuesday, October 4th, against Sporting.

Smoke bombs, pyrotechnics, crowd disturbances and blockages at traffic exits were some of the events that took place and that the governing body of European football does not want to see replicated.
