Roma and Marseille were punished for incidents during their Champions League meetings with Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.

In Roma's case UEFA's disciplinary body handed out a £17,860 fine after fans lit flares and blocked public passageways during their 3-1 home win against Chelsea on November 4.

Marseille were given a £8,930 fine after supporters threw objects onto the pitch, including a cigarette lighter which struck Liverpool player Steven Gerrard, during their 1-0 defeat at Anfield on November 26.

The fines follow on from a £178,650 fine handed down to Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday after crowd trouble at two UEFA Cup matches involving the Croatian champions.
