The Russian club has been charged for racist behaviour and crowd disorder during a Champions League game which led to the halting of the side’s 5-1 loss to Roma.

With upcoming games against domestic champions Bayern Munich and Manchester City, CSKA have already been ordered to play the German side behind closed doors, and could still face further punishments.
