Champions League: Real Madrid fear UEFA will ban key player for Arsenal clash
Real Madrid fear that at least one of their key players will be banned by the UEFA, as they await verdicts on Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius, Antonio Rudiger, and Dani Ceballos.
UEFA are investigating the players’ conduct during and after their dramatic penalty shootout victory against Atletico Madrid on March 12.
The main focus of the investigation revolves around certain gestures made by the players, with Rudiger and Mbappe at the center of the controversy.
Among the allegations, Rudiger is believed to be facing the most serious accusation.
The German defender appeared to make a throat-slitting gesture, believed to be directed at Atletico supporters.
Such an action has been interpreted as threatening, which could lead to a harsher punishment compared to his teammates.
Mbappe also finds himself under the spotlight, with video footage circulating online allegedly showing him making a crotch-grabbing gesture while celebrating.
