Uefa hit Arsenal and Bayern Munich with charges: Investigation to take place
UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Arsenal and Bayern Munich following incidents during the Champions League match at Emirates Stadium yesterday.
Bayern fans raised a banner saying 'without fans football is not worth a penny' at the Emirates
Arsenal were humiliated 5-1 by the Bundesliga giants for the second time, losing 10-2 on aggregate as the pressure increases on Arsene Wenger.
Before the match, travelling Bayern fans held up a banner which read: "without fans football is not worth a penny" to highlight the cost of ticket prices and then once the action started toilet roll was thrown onto the pitch, which caused a delay as the debris was removed.
During the closing stages, there was also a brief disruption when a supporter ran on to the field and was eventually taken off by stewards after stumbling to the floor.
