EUROPEAN FOOTBALL’S GOVERNING body Uefa have opened disciplinary proceedings against Atletico Madrid over an allegedly “racist” banner shown by their fans at last night’s Europa League final against Marseille.
The French side were also charged after some of their fans set off smoke bombs that delayed the start of the match, won 3-0 by Atletico.
The Spaniards were charged over “racist behaviour” after some fans held up a banner that allegedly appeared to show a Nazi war ensign, as well as the setting off of fireworks.
Marseille are in the dock for “crowd disturbances, acts of damages, setting off fireworks and throwing objects and late kick-off” to the game in Lyon.
The cases will be dealt with by UEFA’s control, ethics and disciplinary body on 31 May.

Dublin were very wasteful with possession today and 1st half sweeper tactics were all wrong. As usual Kilkenny were very physical and took their points. Bit disappointed with Dublin really, thought they would bring a lot more composure to the table today. Kilkenny are back at the top table of hurling that’s for sure, but there is reason to believe they’re not entirely imperious as they once were. Not a classic by any means, but fair play to the Cats they got the job done.
I’ve commented on the wrong match here haha! I hope some of the same analysis applies. Sunday brain freeze – shocking scenes lads.
You’re havin a mare kev
