Uefa Charge Roma Fans With Racist Chanting At Chelsea Match
Proceedings
have been opened following an alleged incident during the Champions League tie
at Stamford Bridge
Roma face action from UEFA after
European football's governing body opened disciplinary proceedings over alleged
racist chanting during the Serie A side's 3-3 Champions League draw at Chelsea
on Wednesday.
An absorbing clash at
Stamford Bridge was marred when a section of supporters were heard targeting
defender Antonio Rudiger, who left Roma for Chelsea in the transfer window.
Visiting fans have been
accused of making "monkey chants" after the Germany international
shielded the ball out of play while under pressure from forward Stephan El
Shaarawy.
UEFA confirmed the case will be examined by its Control,
Ethics and Disciplinary Body on November 16, a little over two weeks after the
return fixture takes place at the Stadio Olimpico.
Spartak Moscow were charged
over a similar offence relating to a Youth League match against Liverpool on
September 26.
The draw ensured Chelsea
remain top of Group C after three matches, two points ahead of Roma.
