UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings into the events which transpired late in Liverpool’s 3–2 victory over Atlético Madrid, in which manager Diego Simeone was shown a red card following a clash with fans behind the bench.
A stoppage-time winner from Virgil van Dijk sparked a frenzy on the touchline and Atlético manager Simeone had to be restrained and dragged away from the crowd before being shown a red card for appearing to gesture in the direction of supporters.
