Uefa may order clubs to allow only women and children into European matches as punishment for racist behaviour by fans after deciding to take no action against CSKA Moscow for apparently having fans inside the closed stadium against Manchester City on Tuesday night.

Around 300 people supporting CSKA were inside the stadium on Tuesday night but Uefa is satisfied the rules were followed.

Uefa president Michel Platini will, however, put forward the “women and children only” plan for discussion by European football chiefs after a successful use of the scheme in Turkey in 2011, where Fenerbahce imposed the rule after a series of hooliganism incidents.

“This is just an idea at this stage but Platini is open to discussing it inside Uefa to see if it is better overall for fans and for the image of football,” a Uefa spokesman said.

“The women and children would not have to pay for tickets so the club would still incur a financial penalty.”

Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany claimed it was “unacceptable” that his side had no fans at their 2-2 Champions League draw in Moscow while the home side appeared to have up to 300 fans backing them at a game that was officially played behind closed doors at the Khimki Arena.

Kompany said: “You say ‘no fans’ then all of a sudden you turn up and basically the only team that hasn’t got fans is Man City.

“So who’s getting punished? Who is being done for racism? Man City or Moscow?”
