After avoiding a ban from UEFA, Real Madrid stars Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Antonio Rudiger can play Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League. UEFA found Mbappe and Rudiger guilty of "violating the basic rules of decent conduct" while they were celebrating Los Blancos' penalty win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 and handed out fines but not suspensions. After avoiding a UEFA ban, Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger are both available to face Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. The conduct of Real Madrid's stars Mbappe, Rudiger, Vinicius Junior, and Dani Ceballos in their Champions League penalty shootout victory over city rivals Atletico Madrid in March was the subject of an investigation launched by UEFA last week. In turn, they will both be available to face Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg live on TNT Sports and discovery+ on Tuesday, April 8.
Rudiger was fined €40,000 (£33,980) for allegedly making a throat-slitting gesture toward home supporters, while Mbappe was fined €30,000 (£25,480) for allegedly making a lewd gesture during Real's celebrations against Atletico. Ceballos, meanwhile, was fined €20,000 (£17,000) for allegedly provoking fans at the stadium. Vinicius was not disciplined in any way. Carlo Ancelotti, manager of Real Madrid, denied on Friday that he would ask to leave the club. After Dorival Junior was fired following a 4-1 loss to archrivals Argentina in FIFA World Cup qualifying last month, the Italian has been tipped to lead Brazil. Ancelotti responded, "No, I have already answered that." "I am not going to request to leave this club," declares the participant. In the meantime, ahead of Saturday's La Liga matchup with Valencia and next week's Champions League matchup at the Emirates, Ancelotti provided an update on Jude Bellingham's fitness. "Jude Bellingham's physique allows him to recover very well," Ancelotti said. He has an excellent dynamic. We will evaluate this.
"Today's training will provide us with additional information regarding the players' health and recovery." "But yes, letting him rest [and miss the Valencia match] is an option."
Teammates Dani Ceballos and Vinicius Junior joined Rudiger and Mbappe in the dock, but UEFA decided that Ceballos would pay a €20,000 fine and Vinicius would not be punished. The charges related to the quartet's celebrations after their penalty shoot-out win at the Wanda Metripolitano, when Rudiger was captured making a slit-throat gesture and Mbappe was caught grabbing his crotch.
According to Marca, the pair may have been saved by a precedent established in 2019 by former Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo and Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone. After scoring a hat trick for Juventus against Atletico in the round of 16, Ronaldo made an inappropriate gesture in response to Simeone doing the same in the first leg. Both players were fined €20,000. Real Madrid take on Valencia in La Liga on Saturday before facing Arsenal in the first leg of the quarter-final on Tuesday.
