Atlético Defends the Metropolitano Before UEFA
Atlético de Madrid has submitted allegations to UEFA following the opening of an investigation into the throwing of objects from the stands of the Metropolitano during the Champions League match against Real Madrid.
The Colchonero club seeks to avoid a major financial penalty, arguing that the throwing of objects was not a spontaneous act, but a reaction to what they consider provocations by Real Madrid players during their qualification celebration.
Atlético has provided images as evidence, highlighting gestures from Rüdiger, Ceballos, Mbappé, and Vinicius directed at the fans. The club’s defense focuses on demonstrating that the behavior of some players of the rival team exceeded the limits of a normal celebration, inciting the reaction of the stands.
Following Atlético’s response, UEFA has opened an investigation into four Real Madrid players for ‘indecent’ conduct. Rüdiger will have to answer for a gesture, Vinicius for clashes with the stands, and Mbappé for another gesture. The Rojiblanco club is confident that its arguments will be taken into account and an excessive financial penalty will be avoided.
