UEFA hit Morata and Rodri with charges
According to a report by the Mirror, the European football governing body, UEFA, could ban both Rodri and Morata, as the pair made an offensive chant during their celebration after the Euro 2024 triumph.
UEFA has opened "disciplinary proceedings" against the pair and charged them with "general principles of conduct, violating the basic rules of decent conduct, using sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature, and bringing the sport of football, and Uefa in particular, into disrepute."

"Oh, cmon man, isn't this a little too much? Doesn't football also live a bit off the banter of players?"
Yuki_ninomi commented:
"I don't think that Morata was charged just for saying "where is Musiala" else Cucurella would also be charged for the Haaland part. I think he was charged for saying "so is Morocco'" when Rodri said "Gibraltar is spanish."

"Morata got what he deserved; hopefully, he has to pay a big fine."
Chirag Patel blasts Morata:
"One good tournament, and Morata thinks he's some superstar cf. been around clubs because he's never been good enough to establish himself as stat cf at any of the clubs he's played for."
