Real midfielder Pepe and Barca reserve goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto will also face hearings after being shown red cards in the semi-final first leg and the Madrid club will have to explain incidents of missile-throwing and a pitch invasion, UEFA said.

Mourinho, Pepe and Pinto will miss Tuesday's second leg as they serve automatic one-match bans which could now be extended by UEFA.
