UEFA Asked Pafos Fans to Remove Evagoras Pallikarides Banner in London (PHOTO)

UEFA appears to have demonstrated selective sensitivity by requesting that Pafos fans remove a banner depicting Evagoras Pallikarides during their match against Chelsea in London. The incident occurred shortly before the start of the Champions League League Phase match. In contrast, in Istanbul, the flag of the pseudo-state was prominently displayed during the Galatasaray-Atletico Madrid match without any reaction to remove it. This has sparked commentary regarding UEFA's consistency in enforcing its regulations and addressing political messages in stadiums. The handling of similar incidents seems to vary depending on the case.
