Tuesday, July 23, 2024 – Spain's European Championship-winning stars, Rodri and Alvaro Morata have been charged by UEFA following their actions at Euro 2024 final celebration party
The two Spanish stars were the centre of complaints from the
Gibraltar FA over unacceptable chanting during the celebrations.
During the jubilant scenes in Madrid, Rodri and allegedly
Morata chanted 'It's Spanish, Gibraltar is Spanish' at the party, which led to
complaints and a subsequent investigation.
Now, UEFA have confirmed that the two players have been
charged after breaking 'general principles of conduct'.
That includes violating the basic rules of decent conduct,
using sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature, and bringing
the sport of football, and UEFA in particular, into disrepute.
Last Friday, UEFA confirmed that they had
opened an investigation into the Spanish duo's actions, stating;
'A Uefa Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector is being appointed
to evaluate a potential violation of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations by the
players Rodrigo Hernández Cascante and Álvaro Morata in the context of conduct
that occurred during the public presentation of the Uefa Euro 2024 trophy in
Madrid on 15 July 2024.
'Further information regarding this matter will be made
available in due course.'
Both Rodri and Morata played pivotal roles in Spain's Euro
2024 win, with the Manchester City man being named Player of the Tournament.
