Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has been charged with improper
conduct by Uefa after storming onto the pitch during the Champions
League final.
The Argentine twice came on to the pitch during
his side's 4-1 defeat to Real Madrid in Lisbon.
Simeone, 42, was sent off by Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers.
Real midfielder Xabi Alonso, who was suspended, has
also been charged after sprinting down the touchline in celebration at
the final whistle.
Simeone confronted Real defender Raphael Varane, who kicked a ball toward the Atletico dugout after Real's fourth goal.
Uefa have charged both clubs for receiving at least
five yellow cards and they both face additional fines for fans lighting
fireworks inside the stadium.
Real picked up five bookings, while seven of Atletico's starting XI were cautioned.
All cases will be deal with at disciplinary hearings on
17 July and Simeone and Alonso could face suspensions for next season's
competition.
