UEFA open disciplinary case against AC Milan goalie
BERNE (Switzerland), Oct 8: UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against AC Milan and their goalkeeper Dida following the Brazilian’s controversial substitution during last week’s Champions League defeat away to Celtic.
Dida was stretchered off the pitch near the end of the Group D match after a Celtic fan invaded the pitch and appeared to make light contact with the goalkeeper.
European soccer’s governing body said the case would be discussed by its disciplinary body on Thursday.
Celtic are also facing disciplinary action for failing to prevent the supporter from running onto the pitch following the winning goal.
That meeting is also due to take place on Thursday. —Reuters
