UEFA Probes Real Madrid Star Over On-Field Incident

Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde faces scrutiny from UEFA after Benfica filed a complaint regarding alleged violent conduct. The incident occurred during the Champions League playoff first leg this week, which Real Madrid won 1-0.

Valverde was involved in an off-the-ball clash with Benfica's Samuel Dahl in the 83rd minute. Video footage appears to show Valverde striking Dahl on the back of the head. Although the referee awarded a free kick to Benfica, Valverde was not carded, and VAR did not intervene.

UEFA confirmed it has received the complaint and will pass it to its disciplinary body for analysis. This situation unfolds amidst ongoing controversy surrounding racist abuse allegations made by Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior during the same match, which Benfica denies. The second leg between the two clubs is scheduled for Wednesday, February 25th.
