Diego Simeone hit with UEFA charge for outburst after Champions League final

PARIS - UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone on Tuesday following Saturday's Champions League final.

Simeone rushed on to the pitch to angrily confront Real defender Raphael Varane in the wake of Real's fourth goal in Lisbon.

The Argentine's furious reaction apparently came in response to Varane kicking the ball in Simeone's direction following Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty that put the icing on a 4-1 victory in extra-time.

The case will go before UEFA's control and disciplinary body on July 17.
