Marca report that Real Madrid will learn the outcome of UEFA’s disciplinary case against them on Friday, with Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe, Dani Ceballos, and Antonio Rudiger all being investigated for the nature of their post-match celebrations.
According to the report, Vinicius, Mbappe, and Ceballos are all likely to receive a fine. It’s possible they’ll also get a suspended one-match ban, which would only come into effect if similar behaviour is repeated within a set period of time – usually a year.
But Rudiger’s case is different. His throat-cutting gesture hasn’t been well received, and a ban is more likely for him. Marca suggest that his participation in the upcoming tie against Arsenal is in doubt.
A ban is certainly far from guaranteed, Marca claim Rudiger could also just get a fine and a deferred suspension. But it’s less clear than in the cases of the other three.
It’s worth mentioning that Aurelien Tchouameni is already suspended for the first leg of the Arsenal tie, due to an accumulation of yellow cards. So Real Madrid are low on centre-back options if Rudiger is out too.
Carlo Ancelotti previously responded confidently when asked about UEFA’s investigation into his players.
“We believe everything was correct and we hope UEFA makes a decision, but we trust that everything will end well,” Ancelotti said.
“We are confident in UEFA’s verdict as the players had just celebrated, that’s it, we wait for verdict, but our players didn’t do anything wrong.”
Mbappe is perhaps the least likely to receive a ban, given the history of punishment for similar incidents to his crotch-grabbing celebration.
In 2019, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone turned towards fans and grabbed his crotch in celebration against Juventus. The incident was caught on camera and Simeone was fined €20,000, but he didn’t receive a touchline ban.
Jude Bellingham was also fined and given a one-match suspended ban for his own crotch-grabbing gesture during Euro 2024 last year. But as he hasn’t repeated the offence, that suspended ban has never come into effect.
