UEFA has begun an investigation into the mass brawl that marred last night’s Champions League match between Roma and Galatasaray.

"On the basis of various reports from the referee, delegates as well as the venue director, UEFA has opened a disciplinary investigation with regards to the incidents at the Roma Galatasaray match on Wednesday," a UEFA spokesman announced.

"It is likely that it will be looked at next week at the UEFA control and disciplinary body meeting, which is scheduled for March 28th in Nyon [Switzerland]."

The brawl at the end of the 1-1 draw in Group B involved players and coaching staff from both teams and resulted in injuries to 18 policemen.
