UEFA Investigates Real Madrid Players for Alleged Indecent Conduct After Atlético Match

The investigation into post-match gestures by Mbappé, Rüdiger, Vinícius, and Ceballos could impact Real Madrid's Champions League quarterfinal against Arsenal.

UEFA has launched an official investigation into four Real Madrid players—Mbappé, Rüdiger, Vinícius, and Ceballos—for alleged indecent conduct during celebrations following their Champions League victory over Atlético Madrid on March 12.
Key allegations include a throat-slitting gesture by Rüdiger and a crotch-grabbing gesture by Mbappé, with video evidence circulating on social media supporting these claims.
Atlético Madrid has filed a formal complaint, citing the players' behavior as provocative and claiming it incited hostile reactions from fans, including object-throwing.
Potential disciplinary actions could result in bans that would prevent the players from participating in Real Madrid's quarterfinal first leg against Arsenal on April 8.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has defended his players, describing their actions as normal celebrations and expressing confidence in a favorable outcome from UEFA's investigation.
