The Gunners manager and midfielder have been charged with improper conduct for "inappropriate language" towards the Swiss official following the Champions League last-16 clash at the Nou Camp. The disciplinary case will be heard by UEFA on March 17. Busacca caused uproar by showing Robin van Persie a second yellow card for shooting at goal just one second after he had blown the whistle for offside - the Dutch striker claimed he had not heard it due to the noise of the 95,000-plus crowd. Wenger confronted the Swiss official after the final whistle over the sending off and angry exchanges continued inside the tunnel.
