Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Antonio Rudiger all face being BANNED for Arsenal Champions League quarter-final over 'neck and genitals gestures'

UEFA have opened an investigation into the celebrations of Real Madrid’s Antonio Rüdiger, Dani Ceballos, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr after they beat Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16 stage earlier this month.

The Spanish giants, who face Arsenal across two legs in the competition’s quarter-finals next month, overcame Atletico via penalties in the second leg at the Metropolitano Stadium.

It has now transpired that the celebrations from some of Real’s players has been alleged as ‘indecent conduct’ and is being investigated by UEFA.

It remains to be seen if the matter could impact upon the players’ availability for the fixtures against Arsenal.
