PARIS: Manchester City have been charged by UEFA after fans
set off fireworks during Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain
in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad
Stadium.
Kevin De Bruyne's 76th-minute goal sent City through to
their first Champions League semi-final with a 3-2 aggregate win, but
the Premier League side could face punishment from European football's
governing body.
"Disciplinary proceedings have been opened following the UEFA
Champions League second-leg quarter final between Manchester City FC and
Paris Saint-Germain played on 12 April in England," read a statement
from UEFA.
"Charges against Manchester City FC: - Setting off of
fireworks - Art. 16 (2) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations. This case
will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on
