The Unending Madrid Derby: Fresh Allegations Surface
In a saga that shows no signs of winding down, Atletico Madrid has thrown a curveball into the mix following the recent Champions League clash with their arch-rivals, Real Madrid. Some previous controversy has now escalated, as reported by the Mundo Deportivo. The hottest topic of contention? A rather unsettling on-pitch incident involving Real's German defender, Antonio Ruediger.
The match, held at the Wanda Metropolitano, witnessed more than just a nail-biting outcome that saw Real Madrid advance to the quarter-finals. Following the final whistle, the atmosphere became electric, with Diego Simeone's side raising serious eyebrows over the conduct of several Real players. The UEFA has now opened an inquiry into the post-match chaos, triggered by objects hurled from the stands at the players.
As the dust settles, Atletico have decided to escalate matters further. Reports from El Club Uría suggest that the club has submitted four videos to UEFA, alleging unsporting behaviour from certain Real Madrid players. The most alarming footage features Ruediger making a throat-slitting gesture towards the Atletico supporters. Additionally, Vinicius Jr. is seen taunting the crowd, while Ceballos engages in provocative hand signs and Kylian Mbappe makes gestures that leave little to the imagination.
With UEFA now in possession of these recordings, the question remains whether any reprimands or actions will be taken. What’s clear is that the battle between Atletico and Real is far from over.
