The UEFA has initiated an official inquiry into four Real Madrid players due to their conduct after the match in the Champions League Round of 16 against Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium.
The regulatory authority is evaluating if Antonio Rüdiger, Kylian Mbappé, Dani Ceballos, and Vinicius Jr. breached UEFA’s disciplinary rules with their post-match celebration following Real Madrid’s win via penalty shootout.
Rüdiger is facing examination due to a throttling motion similar to that of wrestling legend The Undertaker, whereas Mbappe is undergoing inquiry concerning an unsuitable hand signal. Vinicius is being probed regarding an altercation with Atletico Madrid fans, who reportedly hurled racial slurs at him. Interestingly, even though Ceballos was sidelined with an injury during the game, he too is subject to scrutiny over how he acted toward rival spectators.
A UEFA disciplinary officer will review the evidence prior to determining whether to issue official charges against Real Madrid. The club plans to present a defense aimed at avoiding possible penalties, as these could influence important members of their squad and potentially disrupt their progress in the Champions League.
