New and perhaps incriminating video of the French talisman has surfaced amid an ongoing inquiry into whether Kylian Mbappe and a trio of his Real Madrid colleagues should be suspended for their Champions League matchup with Arsenal.
Given the major doubts surrounding the availability of Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Dani Ceballos, and Antonio Rudiger, Mikel Arteta and his team, who are frantically aiming for silverware this campaign, could receive a huge boost in their quest for European success.
UEFA is looking into Real Madrid’s four players after they were accused of “indecent conduct” following their penalty shootout triumph against Atletico Madrid, their local rivals, in the competition’s previous round.
New Video Could Put Mbappe in Controversy
According to reports, Atletico gave UEFA four videos.
To shield his players from a hectic schedule, Carlo Ancelotti has supported his team’s exoneration from any suspected misconduct. A UEFA representative stated that the organisation is investigating the claims.
“An investigation into claims of indecent behaviour by Real Madrid CF players (Antonio Rudiger, Kylian Mbappe, Daniel Ceballos Fernandez, and Vinicius Jinor) during the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match between Club Atletico de Madrid and Real Madrid CF on March 12, 2025, has been assigned to a UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector.”
Those in the legendary white of Los Blancos, such as Jude Bellingham and Endrick, were bouncing up and down in celebration in front of the away contingent, which was understandably in high spirits, but their actions may have fatal consequences.
Vinicius Jr. reportedly fought with Atletico supporters, and Rudiger, as previously noted, is among the names being investigated for allegedly making a throat-slitting motion. Ceballos is also charged with making an insulting gesture elsewhere.
Mbappe, who is widely regarded as one of the best football players in the world, may find himself in hot water after new video of the post-match celebrations surfaced. It seems that he touched his genitalia in an offensive way. Watch the video below:

According to Mail Online, Atletico uploaded four different films, including one showing Mbappe’s gesture, to UEFA in order to strengthen their case. Atletico is presently ranked third in La Liga’s 2024–25 standings. They think that every transgression is covered in their collection of video.
Ancelotti’s team is still awaiting the results of their inquiry, but they are scheduled to fly to London on April 8 for the opening leg of their Champions League match before hosting the Gunners at the Santiago Bernabeu eight days later.
In retrospect, a ban might keep one or even a few of Ancelotti’s main players from going to England to play in the return leg as they aim to win the Champions League in May. However, there is no assurance that such a measure will be implemented.
