Paris Saint-Germain and bitter French rivals Marseille were both fined and had their supporters sanctioned by UEFA on Thursday after outbreaks of trouble in European competition.
PSG, who were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid, were ordered to close the north stand at their Parc des Princes stadium when they next play a home European tie.
UEFA said this is punishment for fans throwing fireworks onto the pitch during the second leg of their last-16 tie with Real.

Ilkay Gundogan believes he is finding his best form again having recovered from an injury-plagued start to life at Manchester City.
The German international, 27, arrived in the summer of 2016 having suffered a dislocated kneecap during his final few weeks at Borussia Dortmund, delaying his debut until the September of his debut season.
And having fought his way back to full fitness, he played just 17 games before rupturing cruciate knee ligaments and spending eight months on the sidelines.
But he returned to the side in September as City beat Watford 6-0 at Vicarage Road and has since played 38 times.
With his influence steadily increasing, he says he is relishing being a regular in the team.

“They are much higher on the pitch and score ten times more than me.
“If I make 10 in a season, they score 100. But then I have other tasks on the pitch.”
