A gang of around 300 Lazio ultras were spotted doing a Nazi salute during the 2-0 home win over Borussia Monchengladbach.
Lazio had tried to argue it was a ‘militaristic salute,’ but UEFA are expected to come down heavily on the club.

There are also rumours in La Gazzetta dello Sport that UEFA could inflict a two-game ban on the Stadio Olimpico crowd.
