Although after the first UEFA Champions League round of 16 match with the London team accusations were first made by the London club against the Catalan team, due to a suspicious conversation between coach Frank Rijkaard and match referee Anders Frisk during the halftime, now "Chelsea" itself faces a potential double UEFA penalty.
Today UEFA issued statements expressing great dissatisfaction with the behavior of "Chelsea" representatives during the Champions League matches. According to a UEFA spokesperson, the London team's players were late to reappear on the field after halftime, and team coach Jose Mourinho did not attend the press conference after the match, thus violating UEFA rules.
"The final decision will be made on March 24th, and until then we await an explanation from 'Chelsea' regarding the conduct of their representatives." - said a UEFA press spokesperson.
Before making a decision, UEFA will examine Anders Frisk's report on the match, the match video recording, and statements from UEFA officials, clubs, and their players.
