UEFA has launched an investigation into alleged “discriminatory behaviour” from Juventus supporters during their Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
A Kylian Mbappe brace condemned Juventus to defeat in their Champions League opener at the Parc des Princes, with Weston McKennie scoring a second-half consolation for the Bianconeri.
After the match, video footage was circulated on social media which appeared to show visiting fans making offensive gestures, prompting an inquiry.
A UEFA statement released on Wednesday read: “In accordance with Article 31(4) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, a UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector has been appointed to conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding allegations of discriminatory behaviour by Juventus supporters at the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage match between Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus played on 6 September in France.
“Information on this matter will be made available in due course.”
Juventus are set to host the reverse fixture on November 2.
