UEFA charge Real quintet

UEFA have charged Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho after launching an investigation into whether Sergio Ramos and Xabi Alonso deliberately incurred red cards during Tuesday’s Champions League match at Ajax.

Ramos and Alonso, together with Jerzy Dudek and Iker Casillas, are also under investigation for alleged improper conduct. The case will be dealt with by UEFA’s Control and Disciplinary Body on November 30.

Alonso and Ramos were both sent off late in the 4-0 win after receiving second yellow cards for time-wasting.
