What happened: UEFA has fined Aston Villa €10,000 (£8,600) over racist and/or discriminatory conduct by supporters during the Europa League final, when a banner of an offensive nature was displayed. The club also received a suspended ban on selling tickets to its supporters for a European away fixture. The sanction follows Villa's 3-0 victory over Freiburg in the final in Istanbul on May 20, with goals from Youri Tielemans, Morgan Rogers and Emi Buendia.

Why it matters: The away-ticket ban is suspended for a two-year probationary period, meaning UEFA can activate it if there is a repeat of the behaviour. That would hit traveling Villa fans directly, since the club has qualified for the Champions League next season after finishing fourth in the Premier League and lifting the Europa League trophy. The disciplinary record now shadows a campaign that delivered the club's first European trophy.

What to watch: Watch whether UEFA triggers the suspended ban during Villa's Champions League away matches next season, and whether the club takes its own action over the banner.
