Uefa has imposed a significant fine of €40,000 on FC Copenhagen (FCK), equivalent to approximately 300,000 Danish kroner, due to the behavior of their away fans during a recent Champions League match against FC Barcelona. The fine was issued following multiple instances of objects being thrown from the stands of the Copenhagen fans towards the home crowd during the match. The incidents highlight ongoing concerns regarding fan behavior at major football tournaments and carry implications for FCK’s reputation in European competitions.

In addition to the financial penalty, FCK's Brazilian defender Gabriel Pereira received a two-match ban for unsporting conduct after he insulted a match official following the final whistle. This suspension applies across all of Uefa's European tournaments, potentially impacting FCK's defensive lineup in future crucial matches. Pereira's conduct, which also included receiving a yellow card for unsporting behavior, raises questions about player discipline in high-stakes competitions.

The incident occurred during the match held at Camp Nou on January 28, where FC Copenhagen initially took the lead but ultimately lost 1-4 to Barcelona. Pereira even scored a goal that was subsequently ruled out by video review, leading to further frustration for the player and the team. The loss eliminated FCK from the Champions League, marking a disappointing end to their campaign and underscoring the challenges faced by Danish clubs in the European football scene.
