Zurich: Bayern Munich are facing disciplinary action after several fans ran onto the pitch at the Allianz Arena following their 1-2 defeat at home to Real Madrid on Wednesday.

European soccer governing body Uefa said in a statement that the Bundesliga champions had been charged over a “field invasion” by the fans and the display of a banner containing a “message of an offensive nature” following the match.

Uefa said the case would be heard on May 31, but did not give further details. Two of the fans attempted to take a photograph with Real forward Cristiano Ronaldo, before being chased away by stewards. The Portuguese, though, was unmoved by the incident as video footage showed him scratching his face and grinning. 

Meanwhile, Liverpool have requested a meeting with AS Roma officials, Uefa, security services and the Italian police to ensure safety of fans travelling to Rome next week for the Champions League semi-final second leg. Supporters clashed outside Anfield on Tuesday before Liverpool’s 5-2 win over the Serie A side in the first leg.

Two men have been charged in connection with an incident that left a man in a critical condition in hospital.
