The Croatian FA were docked £64,561 for offences which included the racist abuse of Italy striker Balotelli by between 300 and 500 of the country's fans during last Thursday's Group C game in Poznan, which was also dogged by accusations a banana had been thrown onto the field.

The fine was one of the biggest imposed by European football's governing body for racism-related incidents but it was still significantly lower than the £80,524 punishment and one-match ban dished out to Denmark striker Bendtner 24 hours earlier.

Paddy Power have agreed to pay the Dane's fine after he exposed his underpants bearing their logo.
