UEFA has officially dismissed Real Madrid’s appeal regarding the disciplinary sanctions imposed on Antonio Rüdiger, Kylian Mbappé, and Dani Ceballos. The decision confirms that the players will remain suspended from the European competitions, as the initial ruling stands. The disciplinary actions were based on allegations of improper conduct, which the club has yet to address publicly.
Real Madrid had argued that the sanctions were excessive and not grounded in the evidence provided. The club’s appeal highlighted concerns over the fairness of the disciplinary process, emphasizing the impact on the players’ careers and the team’s performance. However, UEFA maintained that the decision was justified based on the evidence gathered during the investigation.
The suspension of Rüdiger, Mbappé, and Ceballos has significant implications for Real Madrid’s squad in the upcoming European competitions. The club faces the challenge of compensating for the loss of key players, potentially affecting their tournament prospects. Despite the setback, Real Madrid has expressed its commitment to adhering to the UEFA’s decisions and is reportedly considering legal avenues for further appeal.
