Liverpool are facing the prospect of disciplinary action by European football authorities following an attack on Manchester City's team bus before their Champions League quarter-final. Missiles were thrown at the bus as it arrived for Wednesday's first leg at Anfield, which hosts Liverpool won 3-0.
UEFA, European football's governing body, said it would investigate the setting off of fireworks, the throwing of objects, acts of damage and crowd disturbances. "The charges of acts of damage and crowd disturbances relate to incidents involving the Manchester City FC team bus," UEFA said in a statement.
The case will be dealt with by the UEFA control, ethics and disciplinary Body on May 31, it added. Possible sanctions could range from something as minor as a warning or fine all the way through to ordering a match be replayed and exclusion from future competitions.
Although the incidents took place in streets surrounding Anfield, Article 16 of UEFA's regulations state that "host clubs and national associations are responsible for order and security both inside and around the stadium before, during and after matches".
Manchester City coach Manel Estiarte posted footage of the attack on Instagram. The sound of objects striking the vehicle can be heard in the video, filmed from inside the bus as it drives slowly towards the stadium. His post is accompanied by the comments: "No words. Unacceptable". British police have launched an investigation to identify those responsible while making an appeal for video evidence.
Police superintendent Paul White, the match commander, said: "Thankfully, no one on the bus was injured, but injuries were caused to two of our officers when projectiles were thrown towards the bus.
