Real Madrid players Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger have received suspended one-game bans and fines from UEFA for inappropriate celebratory behavior following their victory over Atletico Madrid. The sanctions were handed down after video footage surfaced showing Mbappe in a compromising gesture during the celebrations. Rudiger and Mbappe have been fined €40,000 ($44,000) and €30,000 ($33,000) respectively, while Dani Ceballos received a smaller fine without a suspended ban. Both players will be on probation for a year but are cleared to play against Arsenal in the upcoming Champions League quarterfinals.
Mbappe and Rudiger's postgame celebrations after winning against Atletico Madrid were deemed indecent by UEFA, leading to suspended bans for both players but allowing them to compete.
UEFA's decision highlights the league's commitment to maintaining decent conduct among players, as they managed to impose fines while avoiding direct bans in critical matches.
