Real Madrid will face London Arsenal in the next Tuesday in the next Tuesday in the first quarter -final match of the Champions League. However, until Friday, several players of Carlo Ancelotti were still pregnant by UEFA's behavior related to what was happening just after the 1/8 final match with Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid lost that meeting 0: 1, but as he won 2: 1 at his own stadium, there were penalties in which “Królewski” turned out to be slightly better. However, the not very elegant behavior of several Real players who celebrated victory, provoking and showing obscene and unsportsmanlike gestures towards fans of their opponent.
Antonio Rudiger showed a gesture of suturing his throat, Kylian Mbappe grabbed the crotch, and Dani CeBallos and Vinicius Junior were not without fault. UEFA dealt with the matter. While Vinicius baked, the remaining three were punished with financial penalties.
UEFA punished three Real Madrid players. “Królewski” breathed a sigh of relief
Rudiger, Mbappe and CeBallos were found guilty of breaking the “basic principles of good behavior” from Article 11. UEFA disciplinary regulations. Rudiger will have to pay 40 thousand. euro, mbappe 30,000, and CeBallos 20,000. Rudiger and Mbappe also received one suspension match, but also suspended at a time of one year. So they will pause only if one of them repeats their offense over the next 12 months.
For the Real Madrid environment, however, the most important thing is that Carlo Ancelotti will be able to use each of these players in matches with Arsenal. However, UEFA is consistent in this respect, because financial penalties for similar vulgar / obscene gestures were punished in the past, including Legia Warsaw coach Goncalo Feio (after the match with Broendby) or coach Atletico Madrid Diego Simeone.
