Declan Rice, a midfielder for Arsenal, might be banned by UEFA for remarks he made following their 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid.
In the first leg of the semi-final match, Rice took issue with officiating calls that went against his team.
The Englishman also claimed that the Metropolitano’s hostile environment caused the referees to reverse a significant penalty ruling.
Mikel Arteta said that referee Danny Makkelie’s reversal of his penalty ruling on Eberechi Eze “changes the direction of the match and the tie.”
The Times claims that UEFA will examine Rice’s comments to see if they cast doubt on the impartiality of match officials.
He is anticipated to be eligible for the return leg at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, but if they qualify, he might miss the final due to any potential disciplinary action.
