    Rüdiger, Mbappé

    Kylian Mbappé and Antonio Rüdiger were both fined by UEFA on Friday over “indecent” post-game celebrations in the previous Champions League quarterfinals game.

    Mbappé and Rüdiger were both given a suspended one-game ban for “violating the basic rules of decent conduct,” UEFA said, but those are subject to a one-year probationary period.

    The charges followed Madrid players celebrating a penalty shootout win over city rival Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 on March 12.

    UEFA said Rüdiger was fined 40,000 euros ($44,000) and Mbappé 30,000 euros ($33,000). A third Madrid player, Dani Ceballos, was fined 20,000 euros ($22,000) with no suspended ban.

    Madrid plays at Arsenal on Tuesday in the first leg of the quarterfinals.
