Dec 17 - Bayern Munich were the most heavily sanctioned club in UEFAs latest disciplinary measures announced on Wednesday, receiving a total of 116,000 euros ($136,300) in fines and a partial stadium closure for their ‍next Champions ​League home game.

Bayern were charged with the blocking of ‍public passageways and lighting of fireworks in their match against Sporting earlier this month.

As a result, UEFA ordered the ​enforcement of ​a previously suspended penalty, resulting in the partial closure of sectors 111 to 114 at the Allianz Stadium for Bayerns next UEFA home match -- against Union Saint-Gilloise on January 21.

Bayern ‍were also handed a further partial stadium closure of the entire South Tribune for a subsequent ​match, but this additional closure is suspended ⁠for a two-year probationary period.

Additional fines followed Bayerns away defeat by Arsenal last month.

UEFA fined the German club 40,000 euros for crowd disturbances and the throwing of objects, as well as 30,000 euros for transmitting messages not fit for ​a sports event.
