Spain stars Rodri and Alvaro Morata 'facing two-match ban' by UEFA for chants at Euro 2024 champions' parade

Spain came out victorious in the Euro 2024 final as they beat England in Berlin and as they celebrated their first major trophy since 2012, Rodri and Morata made a few chants insinuating that Gibraltar belonged to Spain instead of the United Kingdom. This has been a political issue between the two countries and UEFA believes the chants have breached their regulations and have therefore launched the investigation.According to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/seleccion/2024/07/19/669a756922601dd9158b4599.html" target="_blank">Marca</a>, the two players could be banned for two games if UEFA decides to sanction them.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Located in the southernmost point of Spain, Gibraltar has been a British overseas territory for more than three centuries. Spain has always maintained that Gibraltar belongs in Spanish territory and has disputed British control over it. Gibraltar, according to Spain, is a remnant of colonialism and ought to be brought back under Spanish authority. The UK's exit from the EU has added to the complexity of the issue, notably in terms of the free movement of people and products across borders.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

In a statement released on Friday, the Gibraltar FA noted: "The Gibraltar FA has noted the extremely provocative and insulting nature of the celebrations around the Spanish Men's national team winning Euro 2024."The Association is this morning taking advice on the filing of a complaint to European Football's governing body, UEFA, in relation to the unacceptable chanting and songs, relating to Gibraltar, sung by Spain's Men's National Team players after winning Euro 2024."Football has no place for behaviour of this nature."

WHAT THE GIRBRALTAR FA SAID

In a statement made on Friday morning, UEFA noted: "A UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector is being appointed to evaluate a potential violation of the Uefa Disciplinary Regulations by the players Rodrigo Hernández Cascante and Álvaro Morata in the context of conduct that occurred during the public presentation of the Uefa Euro 2024 trophy in Madrid on 15 July 2024."Further information regarding this matter will be made available in due course."

WHAT UEFA'S STATEMENT READ

Rodri will return to Manchester City after a short break as he will look to continue his top form with the club. Morata, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/alvaro-morata-ac-milan-transfer-usmnt-star-christian-pulisic-serie-a/bltef26b95b455545b0" target="_blank">made the move to AC Milan</a> and will soon begin training with his new club.
