Good news! Rüdiger Available Against Arsenal
Great news for Real Madrid fans! Carlo Ancelotti will be able to count on Rüdiger in the crucial first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Arsenal.
UEFA has decided not to sanction the German defender for the incidents that occurred during the celebration of the victory against Atlético at the Metropolitano, although he will have to face a fine of 40,000 euros, with the warning of a possible one-match ban in case of recurrence in the next year.
Mbappé also escaped a major sanction, although he will have to pay a fine of 30,000 euros. Ceballos will have to pay €20,000. Vinicius was cleared of all charges.
UEFA’s investigation focused on the conduct of the Real Madrid players after the match against Atlético at the Metropolitano, where they celebrated the qualification to the quarter-finals in front of the travelling fans.
Despite the gestures that could be interpreted as unsportsmanlike under the rain of objects thrown from the stands, UEFA has opted for a financial penalty, allowing Rüdiger to be available for the important match against Arsenal. This decision is a relief for the team and the fans, who will be able to see one of their defensive pillars in a key match of the season.
