Real Madrid can fear the worst. In recent days, we learned that Atlético de Madrid had decided to file a complaint at UEFA against 4 players from Real Madrid. Indeed, the direction of the Colchoneros clearly had not appreciated certain obscene or provocative gestures during the celebrations of the Merengues players after the eighth round return of the Champions League.
