UEFA open disciplinary proceedings against Paris Saint-Germain

UEFA have launched disciplinary proceedings against Paris Saint-Germain over the alleged racist behaviour of their supporters during a Champions League clash against Chelsea in April.

The investigation will centre around "racism, other discriminatory conduct and propaganda" that is believed to have taken place inside the Parc des Princes.

In a short statement, UEFA said: "Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against PSG on May 26 for alleged offences concerning racism, other discriminatory conduct and propaganda at their UEFA Champions League quarter-final played against Chelsea in Paris. The UEFA control and disciplinary body will decide on the matter on July 17."

PSG won the match 3-1, but exited the competition on the away goals rule after they lost the second leg at Stamford Bridge 2-0.
