UEFA announce multiple charges for Real Madrid, one for Barcelona

Real Madrid and Barcelona have been hit with UEFA charges after this week's fiery Champions League clash.

UEFA announced that Madrid will answer five charges relating to the throwing of missiles, a pitch invasion, Pepe's red card, the dismissal of coach Jose Mourinho and the "inappropriate statement" given by the Portuguese manager at the post-match press conference.

Barca, who won the game 2-0 thanks to a pair of Lionel Messi strikes, will face just one charge after substitute goalkeeper Jose Pinto was shown a red card during the half-time melee.

The cases will be heard by UEFA's control and disciplinary body on Friday, May 6.
