It's less than a week until Real Madrid face English heavyweights Arsenal in the opening leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. [Los Blancos](https://therealchamps.com/)' Champions League campaign has been relatively successful thus far. It's been a wild ride, from poor early performances to taking out some of the best teams.
However, before the crucial meeting at the Emirates Stadium, the Merengues face a significant challenge. The UEFA disciplinary committee had earlier opened an inquiry into the acts of four important Real Madrid players during the second match against Atletico Madrid.
Following a penalty shootout victory against their city rivals, four Real Madrid players were captured on camera making dubious actions, which Atletico Madrid reported to UEFA for disciplinary action. The case is now being investigated, and the ultimate conclusion has yet to be published.
Real Madrid's Antonio Rudiger could be suspended for Arsenal clash
------------------------------------------------------------------
During the celebrations, Vinicius Jr got caught in a verbal spat with Atletico fans. Kylian Mbappe, on the other hand, was observed gesturing at his genitals. Dani Ceballos was also witnessed engaging in obscene conduct. And Antonio Rudiger performed his notorious neck cutting move, which was not well received.
According to [Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/champions-league/2025/04/03/real-madrid-teme-ruediger-enfrentarse-arsenal.html), the first three players might face a simple fine for their profane acts. Rudiger, on the other hand, is concerned about receiving a harsher sentence because his actions were perceived as offensive and threatening.
UEFA may sanction Rudiger with both a fine and a deferred suspension. However, a postponed suspension can only be applied if the same behavior occurs again, generally within a year. However, according to the outlet, his condition is not entirely clear.
The behaviors were distinct from others and, as previously said, plainly frightening, perhaps eliciting more response. According to the outlet, the ruling from UEFA has yet to be obtained, but it is expected on Friday, and Rudiger's position for the match is in question until then.
