Atlético charged by UEFA for fan's alleged Nazi salutes

NYON, Switzerland (AP) - Atlético Madrid was charged by UEFA on Friday after a fan was filmed apparently making Nazi salutes at a Champions League game.

The club was charged with 'œdiscriminatory behavior'ť 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.
