Spartak charged again by UEFA over fireworks
Spartak Moscow has again been charged by UEFA after fans criticised the governing body with a banner during its UEFA Champions League clash with Liverpool.
The home supporters at Otkrytiye Arena unveiled a banner that read "UEFA Mafia" and also let off smoke bombs at the 1-1 draw against its English opposition.
UEFA has subsequently charged the Russian champion for the banner as well as what UEFA described as "illicit chants", setting off fireworks and blocking of stairways.
The charges come after Spartak were charged for fans firing a flare in the direction of the referee in the UEFA Champions League meeting with Maribor.
