Slavia Prague bosses believe UEFA punishments will take the shine off their 'match of the decade' against Chelsea.

Three sections of Slavia's Sinobo Stadium will be closed to fans for Chelsea's Europa League quarter-final first leg visit to Prague on Thursday.

Slavia were fined £32,000 by UEFA and had the one-match partial stadium closure imposed after supporters set off fireworks, threw objects onto the pitch and blocked stairways in the goalless draw with Genk on February 14.
