In addition to the suspended ban, Tottenham were fined €30,000. The London club, which in 2019 reached the final of the Champions League, will also have to pay an additional fine of 2,250 euros for the throwing of objects by its supporters.

The English club reacted promptly, describing the conduct of the small group of supporters as “absolutely abominable” and confirmed that they had already issued banning orders against those involved.

We can confirm that the three individuals who made Nazi salutes to Eintracht Frankfurt supporters have been identified and given indefinite bans in accordance with the club's sanctions and bans policy.

The club strongly opposes all forms of discrimination and has therefore taken the most drastic measure possible. The disgusting behavior of a minority of alleged supporters that night in no way reflects the values ​​of our club and its supporters.
