UEFA Investigates Real Madrid Stars for Alleged 'Indecent Conduct' After Atlético Victory

Four players, including Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, face scrutiny over post-match gestures, with potential bans threatening their availability for the Champions League quarterfinal against Arsenal.

UEFA has launched an investigation into four Real Madrid players—Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Antonio Rüdiger, and Dani Ceballos—over alleged 'indecent conduct' during post-match celebrations against Atlético Madrid on March 12.
The investigation focuses on provocative gestures, including Mbappé allegedly grabbing his crotch and Rüdiger reportedly making a throat-slitting gesture, which were captured on social media and reportedly provoked reactions from Atlético fans.
If disciplinary action is taken, the players could face bans that would prevent them from participating in Real Madrid's Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Arsenal on April 8.
UEFA has not provided a timeline for the investigation or potential rulings, leaving uncertainty around Real Madrid’s squad for the upcoming crucial match.
The case follows a heated Madrid derby that included a controversial penalty shootout decision against Atlético, further intensifying the rivalry between the clubs.
