Four Real Madrid players have been cleared to face Arsenal in their Champions League quarter-final despite three being punished by UEFA
Last month, UEFA opened an investigation into allegations of indecent conduct by Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger, Dani Ceballos and Vinicius Jr during their last-16 win against Atletico Madrid.
The four allegedly made gestures towards the home fans after Real defeated Atletico Madrid via penalties to seal their spot in the last eight.
UEFA said on Friday that no disciplinary proceedings were brought against 24-year-old Brazil winger Vinicius Jr.
The other three Real players however were found to have violated “the basic rules of decent conduct” under article 11(2)(b) of UEFA’s disciplinary regulations.
France captain Mbappe, 26, and Germany defender Rudiger, 32, were both given a suspended one-match ban and fined £25,000 (30,000 euros) and £35,000 (40,000 euros) respectively.
Spain midfielder Ceballos, 28, was fined £17,000 (20,000 euros).
Real Madrid will travel to face Arsenal in the first leg of their quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium on 8th April, with the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on 16th April.
