Although the Madrid derby in the Champions League Round of 16 took place some time ago, the intensity of the match still lingers.
UEFA has opened a disciplinary case due to the behavior of Atlético Madrid fans. However, according to Diario Sport, Atlético is now directing attention to the actions of Real Madrid players during the game and has sent an official letter to Nyon in response.
In their statement, Atlético included four videos highlighting specific incidents involving Real Madrid players. The most controversial moment centers around Antonio Rüdiger, who made a provocative gesture by placing his finger to his neck towards the home supporters.
Another video features Vinícius Júnior engaging with the crowd. The Brazilian forward can be seen repeatedly addressing the stands and making gestures that Atlético believes were provocative.
For context, a video editing expert had previously commented on the penalty incident involving Julián Álvarez during the penalty shootout.
