UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Arsenal and Bayern
Munich for their supporters' respective roles in a pitch invasion and
the throwing of objects onto the field in Tuesday's Champions League
clash at Emirates Stadium. Read more stories below...
Bayern repeated their first-leg showing in the last-16 tie with a 5-1
win in the return meeting on a miserable night for the London club.
The match was forced to a brief halt early on, though, as Bayern fans
hurled rolls of toilet paper onto the pitch in protest at the ticket
prices set by Arsenal.
The Gunners also face action after one of their supporters was
spotted running onto the playing surface just before the end of the
match.
UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary body will deal with the cases
on March 23, with Napoli also set to be investigated for the blocking
of stairways, use of a laser pointer, the throwing of objects and
setting off of fireworks in their 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid.
