UEFA have launched an investigation into four Real Madrid players, including Kylian Mbappe, for their behaviour during their UEFA Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid.
Madrid beat their longstanding rivals on penalties in a highly contested last-16 clash in a contentious manner, with Julian Alvarez's penalty disallowed after officials claimed he had double-touched the ball before kicking it.
However, weeks after the game, reports indicate that Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger, Vinicius Jr, and Dani Ceballos have found themselves in hot water as they are being investigated for their alleged indecent conduct.
