In Friday’s announcement, UEFA confirmed Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger “Basic Rules of Decent Behavior” In their celebrations.
The suspension will take effect during the one-year probation period, meaning that any further violations during this period may have direct consequences.
The incident on March 12 sparked the disciplinary action when Real Madrid won the tense penalty shootout against its city opponents at the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium.
After the victory, footage surfaced, showing Mbappe engaging in provocative behavior on the court, including a gesture involving grabbing his crot, which drew major criticism from observers and fans.
Meanwhile, Rudiger faces a €40,000 fine for participating in the misconduct celebrations, while Mbappe was fined €30,000 for his actions. In addition, teammate Dani Ceballos was fined 20,000 euros but was not subject to any moratorium.
It is worth noting that UEFA clarified that no charges were filed against Vinicius Junior, who was originally part of an investigation related to the celebration.
With Real Madrid now shifting its focus to challenging away matches in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, which will be held on Tuesday, the Spanish giants hope to surpass the controversy and focus on their pursuit of glory.
