adminLiverpool have been hit with a second Uefa fine in less than a week for their fans letting off fireworks during their Europa League quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund in April.
The club were handed an €11,000 fine by Uefa’s Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on Thursday for incidents during the 4-3 win over the German side at Anfield.
Liverpool were fined €57 000 by European soccer’s governing body on Tuesday over their fans’ misconduct, including illicit chanting, during the
Europa League last-16 tie against Premier League rivals Manchester United.
Uefa has also charged Liverpool over their fans’ behaviour during the Europa League final defeat by Sevilla in Basel last week.
Meanwhile, Martin Skrtel’s agent, Karol Csonto, has revealed that his client is likely to leave Anfield at the end of next month.
The Slovakia international lost his place in the starting line-up due to indifferent form and recurring injuries, making just 27 appearances for the Reds this season, which was his lowest since joining the club from Zenit Saint Petersburg in 2008.
The 31-year-old has been linked with a move away from Liverpool, with Turkish champions Besiktas tipped as front-runners in a bid to secure the defender’s services. Csonto has confirmed that Besiktas is one of the teams interested in Skrtel, but the deal is not yet done. — Reuters.
