UEFA charge Liverpool after bottles thrown at Man City bus

A day after fans threw bottles at Manchester City's team bus ahead of their Champions League quarter-final first leg at Anfield, UEFA on Thursday opened disciplinary proceedings against Liverpool 

Liverpool have been charged by European soccer's governing body with setting off fireworks, throwing objects, acts of damage and crowd disturbances.

The case will be dealt with by UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on May 31.

Fans set off red flares and sang their club's songs before the City coach arrived and beer cans were thrown at the bus. 

Earlier in the day,  Liverpool apologised to Manchester City for the incident.
