Rio Ferdinand: Injured following missile incident

But they are yet to charge anyone for the coin-throwing incident which saw Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand hit by an object at the end of the match.

Ferdinand was celebrating Robin van Persie's late winner but was left with a gash above his eye after the incident.

Two men have been charged with pitch encroachment.

Chief Inspector Steve Howard said: "To have just 13 arrests for a crowd of this size and a match of this proportion is a testament to the policing operation we put in place.

"Despite fierce rivalry and high tension there was no major disorder. However, we will continue to investigate the coin throwing incident and are determined to work with the club to bring the perpetrator to justice."

an anyone catch Bayern? With the signing of Neymar and possibly Subotic I think rumours of Barcelona's demise were greatly exaggerated.

id no other European clubs try to get Neymar? Or did they just bow out when they heard Barca was in the hunt? Either way, him and Messi could be the biggest nightmare any defence has ever had to face... Jeez, can you imagine!? ffs
