NYON, Switzerland (AP) — Atlético Madrid has been charged by UEFA after a fan was filmed apparently making Nazi salutes at a Champions League game. UEFA says the club has been charged with “discriminatory behavior” and for fans throwing objects during Atlético’s 1-0 loss at Manchester City on Tuesday. UEFA disciplinary rules hold clubs responsible for fan misconduct inside stadiums. No timetable was given for a verdict. Atlético hosts the second leg of the quarterfinals on Wednesday.
