Galatasaray fans will be banned from attending Anfield for the Champions League last-16 second leg against Liverpool in two weeks.

The Turkish champions have confirmed they plan to appeal the decision, which comes after unwanted scenes in the play-off tie against Juventus last week.

UEFA's Appeals Body confirmed the sanctions after fans were seen throwing objects, lighting fireworks and causing disturbances in Turin.

Reports have claimed a man and his daughter were injured after fireworks were directed towards the Juventus fans.

Galatasaray was fined €40,000 ($46,000/£35,000), but has confirmed it plans to challenge the ruling.

In a statement, Galatasaray said: "Due to the fan incidents that occurred during our UEFA Champions League match against Juventus on February 25, 2026, the UEFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to fine our club €40,000 and impose a penalty of playing our next away match behind closed doors.

"An appeal will be filed with the UEFA Appeals Committee against this decision. We inform the public accordingly."
