Bruges-Lens: "Sanctions must be individual," Lens supporters break silence under threat of stadium ban

RC Lens faces UEFA disciplinary action and potential stadium ban after flares thrown by supporters during 3-0 Champions League loss at Bruges; ultras group demands individual sanctions.

RC Lens is under investigation by UEFA following incidents during Wednesday's 3-0 Champions League defeat at Bruges, where flares were thrown from the visiting supporters' section onto the pitch and into stands, briefly halting play. The club faces potential sanctions including fines and a ban on away supporters. Lens was already on probation for pyrotechnic incidents at Slavia Prague in the competition's opening round. The Red Tigers ultras group issued a statement defending the "festive use of pyrotechnics" while insisting individual supporters who break the law must be held accountable, not the entire fan base.
