Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola faced UEFA action following his side’s Champions League victory over Porto.
The German champions registered a 6-1 win to book their place in the semi-finals with a 7-4 aggregate result, but the Spanish coach could now be hit with a fine.
Proceedings are thought to centre on a T-shirt worn by Guardiola at his pre-match news conference – emblazoned with the slogan ‘#JusticiaParaTopo’, or Justice for Topo.
The T-shirt was a reference to Argentinian reporter Jorge ‘Topo’ Lopez, who died in a car crash during last year’s World Cup in Brazil.
UEFA confirmed yesterday that Guardiola had been charged with an alleged breach of article 11 (2) (c) in their disciplinary regulations – which concerns using “sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature”.
Porto boss Julian Lopetegui also faces action after being sent from the touchline on Tuesday.
