Atletico Madrid win their CAS appeal after UEFA ordered them to partially close the Wanda Metropolitano for their Champions League showdown with Man City over video footage of fans appearing to perform Nazi salutes at the Etihad last week

The Court of Arbitration for Sport have suspended UEFA's ruling for Atletico Madrid to close part of their stadium for Wednesday's Champions League return clash with Manchester City after fans performed Nazi salutes at the first leg.

UEFA ordered the Spanish club to ensure at least 5,000 seats in the home section would not be filled for their crucial quarter-final second leg against Pep Guardiola's side at the 68,456-capacity Wanda Metropolitano.

European football's governing body delivered the punishment after video footage emerged of Atletico supporters appearing to make Nazi salutes last Tuesday at the Etihad, where Kevin de Bruyne earned City a narrow 1-0 win in the opening fixture.
