Napoli will have to play their next UEFA home fixture with the some sections of the Stadio San Paolo closed.

The decision was made due to a series of warnings that built up to this punishment.

The final straw was the 1-1 Europa League semi-final draw with Dnipro, which saw fireworks launched from the stands, laser pointers to irritate opponents and blocked stairways.

UEFA ordered the partial closure of the stadium in the next European home fixture, specifically Curva A and B.

Napoli have also been fined €80,000.
