Official. UEFA will not disqualify Real Madrid players for the Champions League match
Atletico Madrid players filed a complaint with UEFA over Real Madrid players' celebrations after the Champions League quarter-final. Now the organization has delivered its verdict.
Details: UEFA will not disqualify Antonio Rüdiger or any other players. They will be able to take the field against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final. However, the German defender has been fined 40,000 euros.
Carlo Ancelotti himself stated that he remains optimistic.
It should be noted that Atletico's complaint included four videos showing specific actions of Real Madrid players. The most controversial incident involved Antonio Rüdiger, who made a contentious gesture towards the home stand, placing a finger to his neck.
Reminder: Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in court as part of an ongoing process on charges of tax evasion.
