Tottenham, Son Heung-min (34, LA FC)'s former team, continues to suffer from noise in addition to poor performance. Some fans received huge fines and crowd restrictions from UEFA for their senseless behavior.

Tottenham announced the UEFA disciplinary action on its official channel on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time) for the spectator disturbance that occurred during the eighth game of the "2025-2026 UEFA Champions League (UCL)" league phase against NUGU in Frankfurt, Germany, on January 29.

Tottenham won 2-0 at the time, but three away fans caused controversy for committing hateful acts, such as Nazi salutes and throwing objects into the stadium.

UEFA judged the situation severely and confirmed the disciplinary action against Tottenham. First of all, he imposed a fine of 30,000 euros (about 51 million won) for holding the audience responsible for assisting hateful acts in connection with inappropriate words and actions. A fine of 2,250 euros (about 3.8 million won) was added to this.

Heavy penalties were also imposed on the management of the game. UEFA has banned Tottenham from selling tickets to one UEFA away game in the future. However, this measure is subject to a one-year grace period.

Tottenham said, "We identified the three people who made the Nazi salute and imposed an 'indefinite ban' according to the club's policy," adding, "The actions of these fake fans do not represent the club's values and firmly oppose all discrimination."

Tottenham's crisis is not just off the pitch. He lost 1-2 in the London derby against Fulham on the 1st, falling into the worst slump of 10 league games (4 draws and 6 losses).

Currently, Tottenham ranks 16th in the league with 29 points (7 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses). The gap with 18th-ranked West Ham (25 points), which is in the relegation zone, is only four points, forcing them to worry about staying in the Premier League.

There is no effect of changing the coach at all. Tottenham replaced Thomas Frank in February and gave Igor Tudor a temporary baton until this season on the 14th. However, since Tudor's inauguration, he has lost both games and has rarely rebounded.
