Uefa has opened disciplinary proceedings against AC Milan and their Brazilian goalkeeper Dida over the incident at the Champions League game at Celtic last Wednesday, when a "fan" invaded the pitch and touched him after the end of Milan's 2-1 defeat.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper began to briefly chase after the fan before collapsing dramatically to the ground and was eventually stretchered off. Since then however Dida has been criticised for overreacting (this blogger disagrees - more like over ACTING).
It is unfortunate that Celtic's magnificent victory over AC Milan was overshadowed by a moment of stupidity. The "fan" received (and deserved) a lifetime ban, and no doubt Uefa will ensure Celtic will inevitably suffer. I also hope they make Dida pay for his play-acting, but I feel sorry for AC Milan.
(NOTE: since this post, Celtic have been fined £25,000 ($50,000) and AC Milan goalkeeper Dida has been banned for two matches)
