Head team coach of Bayern Munich football club, Pep Guardiola has been charged by UEFA for wearing a T-Shirt to support a campaign for justice surrounding the death of an Argentine journalist Topo Lopez.
Guardiola wore the T-shirt stating "Justica para Topo" at a press conference before the second leg of the Champions League match against Porto played on April 21. The message appeared to support a campaign to investigate Lopez’s death. Lopez was killed when a taxi he was traveling back to his hotel in was hit by a stolen car being chased by police.

UEFA's regulations prohibit the use of "sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature" and the governing body has charged Guardiola with an "incident of non-sporting nature". The cases will be dealt with by UEFA's disciplinary body on 21 May.
