Besiktas charged over Champions League cat incident

    Uefa have charged Besiktas over an incident in which a cat strayed onto the pitch during a Champions League last-16 tie.

    English referee Michael Oliver was forced to stop play while the feline intruder approached the touchline during the Turkish club’s 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich at Vodafone Park.

    The charge of “insufficient organisation” was handed down, together with further charges of “throwing objects and blocked stairways”.

    The case will be heard by Uefa's disciplinary body on 31 May.
