Fiery Nou Camp clash prompts UEFA probe

UEFA are set to launch an investigation into Tuesday night’s stormy encounter between Barcelona and Chelsea.

Italian referee Stefano Farina showed 10 yellow cards during the Champions League match – six to Chelsea players – and was confronted by furious Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard at the final whistle.

Chelsea can expect a fine for ‘unsporting behaviour’ – any team collecting more than five yellow cards in a match faces action – and Barcelona could find themselves in more serious trouble.
