UEFA order a partial closure of Atletico Madrid's stadium for their Champions League clash against Manchester City after their fans were caught on camera appearing to perform Nazi salutes in the stands during Etihad first leg

Atletico Madrid have been ordered to close part of their stadium for their Champions League return clash with Manchester City after fans performed Nazi salutes at the first leg.

The Spanish side will have to ensure at least 5,000 seats – in home areas – are not filled for Wednesday's quarter-final decider against Pep Guardiola's side at the 68,456-capacity Wanda Metropolitano.

Video footage captured travelling supporters making the sickening gesture at the Etihad Stadium during City's 1-0 victory last Tuesday.
