Barcelona have been fined 110,000
euros by UEFA for incidents that marred August's
European Super Cup triumph over Porto, the Spanish club said in
a statement on Thursday.
European football's governing body has punished Barca for
being two minutes late for the start of the second half in
Monaco, and because 10 flares were lit in the zone occupied by
their fans during the encounter.
They have three days to appeal the decision.
Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas scored to give European
champions Barca a 2-0 victory over Europa League winners Porto
on August 26.
