UEFA will take no action against Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson for his "typical Germans" jibe at Bayern Munich over the sending off of Reds defender Rafael. Ferguson claimed referee Nicola Rizzoli was pressured by the Bayern players into showing Rafael a second yellow card and the Bundesliga side went on to secure a Champions League semi-final spot on away goals.
Ferguson said after the game: "The young boy showed a bit of inexperience but they got him sent off, everyone sprinted towards the referee - typical Germans."
UEFA have now confirmed there will be no disciplinary action taken against Ferguson for his remarks.
The remark did rankle with Bayern coach Louis van Gaal however who reacted by saying: "I thought England was noted for fairness but that's not what I call fair play. I think Sir Alex was disappointed."
