UEFA has ordered disciplinary proceedings against Bayern Munich after a group of fans, reportedly from Austria, displayed a homophobic banner targeting Arsenal playmaker MesutOzil that was seen during Tuesday’s 1-1 Champions League Round of 16 second-leg draw in Munich.
The sign — which branded Arsenal “Gay Gunners” and featured a crudecaricature of the German midfielder — was captured by television cameras during the game and then widely circulated on social media.
Separately, Ozil, who was substituted at halftime, isset to miss the Gunners next few games because of a hamstring injury suffered during thegame.
