 UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against FC Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets, who is alleged to have violated Article 11 bis of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations by directing racist abuse towards a Real Madrid CF player in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between the clubs on 27 April.

The proceedings have been launched on the basis of evidence provided by Real Madrid (video and statement of club and player). The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will deal with the case on Sunday 15 May and the decision will be communicated to the club on Monday 16 May.

I'm just glad they finally decided to do something about it. What do you think the outcome will be?

Great comment. Besides, ignoring all the politics about proper channels and timing I think it's important for everyone to realize that while this is not anything new to Marcelo:

"You never feel pride after confronting racism. Maybe in a few years you’ll be proud. Maybe. But more than anything else you feel alone. Ten times more alienated than before you opened your mouth. You feel anxious and angry and depressed and helpless." from here. (http://theloop21.com/society/accosted-racist-costumes?page=1)

One of my favorite quotes. I was never able to sum it up myself and then I found this.
