Borussia Dortmund fans halted their Champions League\u00a0match against Newcastle by throwing fake golden bars, tennis balls, and money bags onto the pitch.<\/p>\n
The match was temporarily stopped after half time for the objects to be cleared, but when play resumed lots of objects were still on it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘You don\u2019t care about the sport – all you care about is money,’ read one banner in a protest against Newcastle.<\/p>\n
Supporters also displayed a link to a campaign website protesting against Champions League reform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a breaking story. More to follow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
