Passions run high as Atletico files complaint with UEFA about Real Madrid players' behavior
Despite the fact that the Madrid derby in the Champions League Round of 16 took place quite some time ago, the passions from that match have yet to subside.
Details: UEFA has opened a disciplinary case due to the behavior of Atletico fans. However, as Diario Sport reports, the "Colchoneros" are shifting the focus to the actions of Real Madrid players during the match, for which they are sending an official letter to Nyon.
Atletico's statement includes four videos showcasing specific actions by Real Madrid players. The most talked-about incident involves Antonio Rüdiger, who made a controversial gesture towards the home stand by placing a finger to his neck.
Another video shows Vinicius Junior interacting with the crowd. The Brazilian forward repeatedly addressed the stands and made gestures that Atletico considers provocative.
Recall: Previously, a video editing expert commented on the penalty incident involving Julian Alvarez in the penalty shootout.
