Spanish giants Barcelona have been charged by European football governing body UEFA after their fans 'threw objects around the stadium' during their 4 - 1 Champions League win against Roma.

It was later understood it was done as a show of support for the Catalan government members who remain in prison.
Shortly before the match, a separatist group distributed around 10,000 balloons, urging its followers to "be responsible and "not let them go on to the field".
They maintained that the protest was to be staged "in the face of an atrocious repression against our people and our politics."
The case will be heard by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on May 31, the same day as their enquiry into the trouble before Liverpool's clash with Manchester City.
