The UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) today ruled that Spartak Moscow were banned from selling away tickets to their supporters for the Champions League game at the Sánchez Pizjuán in Seville on November 1st.

The sanction is a result of incidents that occurred when the Russian side played their first group stage against Slovenian side Maribor on September 13 when a flare was launched at the match official mid-game.
