Malaga president Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Thani is facing UEFA action after his outburst in the wake of their Champions League elimination by Borussia Dortmund.

Malaga, playing in the competition for the first time, were fuming with some of the decisions made by Scottish referee Craig Thomson and his team, and announced today they would be making a formal complaint to UEFA about the officiating.

Al Thani launched a furious Twitter outburst immediately after the match, claiming his club had been the victims of "racism", and he continued today.

"Yes, we were targeted from the beginning of the season by corrupt UEFA and based on racism," he wrote on his personal account, @ANAALThani.

UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino this afternoon said the comments would now be looked at by the governing body.

He said: "It will now be analysed by our disciplinary inspectors, they will act if they have to act depending on what has been said.

"I can understand when you lose a match in the 93rd minute the emotions come up and maybe you say things that you don't really think and you really don't want to say."
