SAD NEWS As Kylain Mbappe, Vini Jr and Rudiger Real Madrid ban update as punishments ‘revealed’ before Arsenal tie
Real Madrid’s quartet of Rudiger, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Ceballos are currently embroiled in a UEFA investigation, sparked by their alleged improper conduct during the team’s recent victory over Atletico Madrid. The players’ actions, which have been deemed unacceptable by the governing body, have led to speculation about potential suspensions and fines.
At the forefront of the controversy are Rudiger and Mbappe, whose specific actions have drawn widespread criticism. Rudiger’s throat-slitting gesture, in particular, has been singled out as a threatening and unacceptable behavior. Similarly, Mbappe’s decision to grab his genitals in the direction of Atletico supporters has been widely condemned.
Vinicius Jr and Ceballos, meanwhile, have been accused of taunting the home faithful on multiple occasions, with the former removing his coat, laying it on the grass, and pointing at the Madrid badge, while the latter mockingly danced alongside Jude Bellingham.
As the investigation unfolds, both Real Madrid and Arsenal are eagerly awaiting the outcome, with the first leg of their highly anticipated tie just around the corner. According to Spanish outlet Marca, a final decision is expected to be revealed on Friday, with Mbappe, Ceballos, and Vinicius Jr likely to receive fines and suspended bans, unless they repeat similar behavior in the future.
However, Rudiger’s situation remains more uncertain, with the German defender potentially facing a more severe punishment due to the nature of his gesture. Real Madrid fears that Rudiger may miss the first leg against Arsenal, which would be a significant blow to the team’s chances.
In contrast, Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori is guaranteed to miss out on the tie, while up to three other players may join him on the sidelines due to injury concerns. The Gunners will be hoping to receive a favorable outcome from the UEFA investigation, as they prepare to face Real Madrid in what promises to be an enthralling encounter.
