Arsenal and Bayern Munich charged by UEFA

Arsenal and Bayern Munich have been charged by UEFA over ‘fan incidents’ that occurred during their Champions League match on Tuesday night.

Arsenal have been charged for allowing a fan to run onto the pitch while Bayern Munich have been charged for their fans throwing objects (toilet paper) on to the pitch.

A statement from UEFA said: “Disciplinary proceedings have been opened following the UEFA Champions League round-of-16 match between Arsenal FC and FC Bayern Munchen (1-5), played on 7 March in England.

“Charges against Arsenal FC: Field invasions by supporters – Art. 16 (2) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations (DR).

“Charges against FC Bayern Munchen: Throwing of objects – Art. 16 (2) of DR.

“No other disciplinary cases have been opened after this match.”

UEFA’s disciplinary panel will judge the cases on March 23.

Back in July, UEFA fined Portugal €5,000 for a fan running onto the pitch during a Euro quarter-final.
