Ancelotti Confident UEFA Investigation Will Favor Real Madrid Ahead of Arsenal Clash

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has expressed confidence that the UEFA investigation into four of his players—Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Antonio Rudiger, and Dani Ceballos—will conclude favorably ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal. The investigation stems from allegations of 'indecent conduct' following Madrid's penalty shootout victory over Atletico Madrid, where complaints were lodged regarding unsportsmanlike behavior during post-match celebrations. Ancelotti stated that the players were merely celebrating and did nothing wrong, emphasizing trust in UEFA's process. The inquiry, which could potentially lead to suspensions, is expected to be resolved before the first leg on April 8. He also mentioned the team's commitment to competing for the La Liga title despite trailing Barcelona. Additionally, Ancelotti is hopeful about the return of injured players for the upcoming matches.
