Chelsea and Manchester City are in trouble with UEFA but Manchester United are clear.
UEFA has published a list of sanctions for matches played in March and April following a decision by the Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on May 9. Chelsea and Man City are among the teams fined for fan behavior in the Champions League. semifinal.
Sky Blues received the bigger penalty of the two, with the club forced to pay £4,570 (€5,250) for setting off firecrackers and throwing objects during the first leg against Bayern at home.
Chelsea were also forced to pay their bills after a fan came on for the first leg against Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge when UEFA fined the club £3,842 (€4,000). United, on the other hand, was one of the teams that avoided any penalty. The club's 2-2 draw with Sevilla at Old Trafford was closely watched, but only the opposing team was penalized. The La Liga club will have to pay £6,528 (7,500 euros) for fireworks and team misconduct.
With so much money in football these days, fines are unlikely to stress any of those being fined, but can embarrass the recipient.
Man City are currently the favorites to win the Champions League after holding Real Madrid 1-1 at the Bernabeu in the middle of the week. However, Sky Blues manager Pep Guardiola is not satisfied with the schedule ahead of the crucial clash. Eurovision at Liverpool means their Premier League clash with Everton will take place on Sunday, leaving them with little time to prepare.

“That number of competitions, that number of games. I think we can't play on Saturday because there's Eurovision and the city doesn't have enough body or capacity to handle that many people.
“We have to adapt. What can I do? We definitely want to play on Saturday so we can prepare more.
