Four Real Madrid players could be in trouble after UEFA announced that an ethics and disciplinary investigation is being launched for the club’s celebrations against Atlético Madrid during their Champions League Round of 16 victory.

Kylian Mbappé, Antonio Rüdiger, Dani Ceballos and Vinícius Jr. were the quartet of Madrid players that UEFA named. The investigation will be for “indecent conduct.”

Premier League clubs agreed to open the transfer window early for a 10-day period in June, ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, before it reopens again on June 16, the league said on Thursday.

A fantastic Christian Pulisic goal vs Como brought AC Milan level during their 2-1 comeback victory in Serie A on Saturday at San Siro.

The Rossoneri got off to another poor start and trailed at the half. The home fans loudly booed their squad off the pitch after the halftime whistle, but a second half comeback was in the cards.

UEFA said the correct decision was made to disallow Julian Alvarez's penalty in Atletico Madrid's Champions League loss to city rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday but European soccer's governing body would enter discussions to review the rule.

A livid Atletico enquired with UEFA after Alvarez had his shootout penalty ruled out by the referee in their last-16 tie that saw Real reach the quarter-finals of Europe's elite club competition.

The second leg of the Madrid Derby in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday had high drama with the main focus being a Julián Alvarez penalty being disallowed during the shootout which Real Madrid won 4-2 after drawing 2-2 on aggregate.

Alvarez appeared to convert Atlético Madrid’s second penalty when he powered his penalty kick into the roof of the net despite slipping.

Two Christian Pulisic goals vs Lecce on Saturday ended the American’s month-long goal drought and gave AC Milan three points they desperately needed.

Milan looked on course for a fourth consecutive Serie A defeat when the hosts took a two-goal lead at the hour mark. It looked like Milan manager Sergio Conceicao was going to be coaching his final 30 minutes for the Italian giants, but then his side did the unthinkable.
