Manchester City will avoid punishment from UEFA after being charged for their fans booing the Champions League anthem.

The Mail on Sunday says UEFA's disciplinary body reviewed the case after the booing was reported by match delegate, Geir Thorsteinsson, following the win over Sevilla in October and decided not to take any action.

A UEFA spokesman said: "It is confirmed that the UEFA control, ethics and disciplinary body has decided to close the disciplinary proceedings."

City's fans have regularly booed the anthem ‒ taken from Handel's Zadok the Priest with words provided by English composer Tony Britten ‒ to express their unhappiness with UEFA.
