Dortmund moved into the round of 16, with a 1-1 draw in Italy enough to see the Bundesliga side through.

The actions from the Atalanta fans are nothing new. The club faced sanctions in January after the fans were found to have racially abused Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly. In that instance, the Serie A side were forced to play a match behind closed doors.
