The behaviour of Liverpool and Sevilla's supporters at the Europa League final is under the microscope.

On Friday, UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings against both Liverpool and Sevilla, charging the two clubs for crowd disturbances.

In addition, the Reds were charged for the setting off of fireworks, while the Andalusian side was charged for the throwing of objects.

Supporters from both clubs clashed ahead of kick-off after, according to BBC Sport, some of Liverpool's fans obtained tickets in the end of St. Jakob-Park housing Sevilla's followers.

Liverpool is already facing disciplinary action that stems from earlier ties in the Europa League against Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 and quarter-finals, respectively.

The case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body on July 21.
