Lens fans banned from Anfield for Champions League match with Liverpool

Uefa has banned Lens fans from attending their upcoming Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield on January 27, 2027, due to incidents involving flares during a prior match against Club Brugge. The ban includes a suspension for two away games after fans lit and threw flares, interrupting that match, which ended in a 3-0 loss for Lens. Uefa fined the club 80,000 euros for these violations and added that this sanction was part of a probation period due to previous infractions related to fireworks at a match in September. Liverpool will host the match with only their supporters present as they aim to progress further in the tournament.
