The celebration of Real Madrid for their advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League continues to be a topic of discussion.

Just a few minutes ago, it was confirmed that a UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector has been appointed to investigate allegations of indecent conduct by Real Madrid players. UEFA is focusing on the behavior of Antonio Rüdiger, Kylian Mbappé, Daniel Ceballos Fernández, and Vinícius Júnior, following the events at the end of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 match between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid on March 12, 2025.

After the penalty shootout, Real Madrid players celebrated their advance to the quarter-finals in front of the Atlético fans. These images have led the European football governing body to open an investigation to determine if there is anything punishable.

At this moment, a period for allegations is open for the parties to present their reasons regarding this incident.

However, there are precedents for financial penalties for such behaviors. In 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo was fined 20,000 euros for obscene gestures towards the Atlético Madrid fans in the Champions League round of 16.
