Play had to be stopped momentarily during Galatasaray's 4-1 UEFA Champions League defeat at Arsenal on Wednesday, when fans hurled flares onto the Emirates Stadium turf.
Wesley Sneijder - captain in place of the unwell Selcuk Inan - made his way over to the Turkish fans in a bid to halt the unrest, with action resuming soon after.
Proceedings have also been opened against Dortmund for similar offences during their 3-0 win at Anderlecht, with UEFA citing the "setting-off and throwing of fireworks".
