Galatasaray won't have away fans at Liverpool match due to UEFA sanctions over fireworks, object throwing.

Turkish champions fined €40,000, fans banned from Anfield over behavior in Juventus match...

A Galatasaray fan was seen with a flare during the intense Champions League match against Juventus, which ended in a 5-2 win for Galatasaray, securing their spot in the round of 16 with a 7-5 aggregate victory.

Galatasaray fans won't be able to attend their Champions League clash at Liverpool on March 18 due to UEFA sanctions. The ban stems from their supporters' behavior during the Juventus match, where they threw objects, lit fireworks, and caused disturbances, injuring a man and his daughter.

The Turkish champions have been fined €40,000 and had their appeal rejected by UEFA's Appeals Body. Galatasaray will now head to Anfield without their traveling fans, potentially impacting the atmosphere of the match.

Galatasaray, the Turkish champions, are facing a tough time off the pitch despite their thrilling 7-5 aggregate win over Juventus. UEFA's disciplinary committee has fined them 40,000 euros ($46,000) for fan misbehavior during the match, and their appeal was rejected on Wednesday. The fans' actions, including throwing objects and lighting fireworks, led to injuries and disturbances at Juventus Stadium.

As a result, Galatasaray won't have any away fans cheering them on at Anfield for the second leg against Liverpool on March 18. The club had previously defeated Liverpool 1-0 at home during the league phase, but they'll be without their vocal supporters for this crucial match.
