UEFA To Take Disciplinary Action Against Real Madrid, Barcelona

It has been revealed that Uefa will take disciplinary action against Real Madrid and Barcelona following Wednesday’s stormy Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu.

Barcelona’s 2-0 first-leg win over Real was marred by incidents on and off the pitch.

Real have been charged in relation to Pepe’s sending off, Jose Mourinho’s dismissal to the stands, throwing missiles on the pitch, a pitch invasion and Mourinho’s inappropriate statement to the media after the game.

Barcelona have been charged for the red card picked up by substitute keeper Jose Pinto following a bust-up between both benches at the end of the first half.

Both cases will be heard by Uefa’s disciplinary board on 6th May.
