The real Madrid UEFA investigation scandal has gone on a strong tangent only days after their tussle in Europe. What began as a tense game has now become official complaints and disciplinary investigation.
Report in Portugal indicates that only three days after the game, Gianluca Prestianni has only been presented with a fast-track investigation by UEFA. The relocation is an indication of urgency among the football governing body in Europe. It also demonstrates that the scandal around this installation is not quite exhausted.
Meanwhile, Benfica have also lodged a formal complaint against Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde. The incident under consideration took place in the 83 rd minute. Lisbon club states that Valverde slapped Samuel Dahn in one of the hot moments. The management of Benfica has termed the act to be a suspected assault. They claim that the international of Uruguayan should have been red carded at once.
To make the situation worse, there is no intervention. The referee and the VAR did not intervene in the game. The move has brought hatred among Benfica administrators and fans. They feel that there was a definite disciplinary mistake during the field.
In a bigger context, this case again raises the issue of the increased strain on VAR during high-stakes matches in Europe. So, in the situations where technology cannot intervene in situations of controversy, it means that post-match investigations are bound to occur.
In the case of Real Madrid, the scenario provides undesired distraction. In the case of Benfica, there is the question of responsibility and equality. It has become a fine balancing act on the part of UEFA. There will be close monitoring of any ruling throughout Europe.
