Chelsea to be hit with Uefa fine Uefa set to examine Chelsea tie
(10 minutes later)
Chelsea are to be fined by Uefa after picking up six yellow cards in their 2-2 draw at Barcelona on Tuesday. Uefa may launch an investigation into the game between Chelsea and Barcelona.
There is an automatic penalty for any team shown five or more bookings in a European game and the size of the fine will depend on the referee's report. The stormy match was drawn 2-2 with Chelsea picking up six of 10 bookings and Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard confronting the referee at the end.
The opinion of the Uefa delegate - Wolfgang Thierrichetr - will also be taken into account. Chelsea can expect a fine as any team picking up five or more bookings in a game is automatically punished.
The size of the fine and any penalty for Rijkaard will depend on the reports of referee Stefano Farina and Uefa match delegate Wolfgang Thierrichetr.
Uefa are keen to stamp out players surrounding the referee during a match and, as that took place on several occasions at the Nou Camp during the game, it may decide to make an example of both clubs as well as Rijkaard.
Uefa communications director William Gaillard said: "We may open an investigation if there are a large amount of cards, if other incidents are mentioned by the referee or Uefa match delegate, or if either team files a complaint.
"We will examine the reports when we receive them and see if there is anything which would lead to an investigation being opened."

Uefa may also act against Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Barcelona counterpart Frank Rijkaard depending on referee Stefano Farina's report.
Mourinho's celebrations after Didier Drogba's late equaliser may come under scrutiny but Rijkaard's actions are more likely to be punished.
