The UEFA disciplinary committee has decided: Kylian Mbappé, Antonio Rüdiger and Dani Ceballos are receiving sanctions after their celebrations deemed moved during the qualification of Real Madrid against Atlético Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Following videos transmitted by Atlético Madrid, pointing to behavior deemed “indecent”, the European body made its verdict. Result: Mbappé and Rüdiger receive a fine and a suspended suspension match, while Dani Ceballos gets away with a simple fine.
Mbappé in the viewfinder for an obscene gesture
Filmed to grab his private parts in front of the opposing supporters after the penalty shootout (4-2, cumulative score 2-2), Kylian Mbappé received a fine of 30,000 euros as well as a suspended suspension match. UEFA specifies that this is a sanction for “violation of basic rules of good conduct”, accompanied by a probationary period. This type of gesture recalls that of Jude Bellingham with England at Euro 2024, also sanctioned.

Rüdiger escapes a heavier sanction
Antonio Rüdiger, author of the decisive shot, was sanctioned for mimicking a gesture of slaughter in the direction of the Colchonero public. Considered potentially threatening, this gesture earned him a fine of 40,000 euros and a suspended match, also under probationary. The German defender can however blow: he avoids a firm suspension.
Ceballos sanctioned despite his absence in the field
Wounded and not aligned for the derby, Dani Ceballos did not escape the eye of the cameras. Leaving the field, he sent an arm of honor to the Atlético supporters. Result: a fine of 20,000 euros. A purely financial sanction.
Vinicius junior, provocative … but not punished
Finally, Vinicius Junior, also in the viewfinder, goes white as snow. Despite several gestures of provocation, including references to the 15 Real Champions Leagues and the Title Title of Atlético in the competition, UEFA has opened no disciplinary procedure against it.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti had reacted upstream: “We trust UEFA. We believe that everything has been done in the rules. He can now focus on the quarter -final against Arsenal, without having to do without his major executives.
