Rodri – Fortunebets

Uefa has started disciplinary proceedings against Spanish players Alvaro Morata and Rodri over their behaviour during a Euro 2024 presentation in Madrid this month, European soccer’s governing body confirmed on Tuesday.

The players sang ‘Gibraltar is Spanish’ on July 15th, the day after they won the European Championship with a 2-1 victory over England in Berlin, during a public celebration in the Spanish capital.

Gibraltar is a British territory located at the southern tip of Spain.

Gibraltar’s Football Association filed a formal complaint to Uefa about the chant, and Uefa appointed an ethics and disciplinary inspector to evaluate whether it violated regulations.

The charges against Rodri and Morata include violating the basic rules of decent conduct, general principles of conduct, using sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature and bringing the sport of football into disrepute.

Raheem Sterling, Rodri and Bernardo Silva were all on target as Manchester City beat Everton to leapfrog Liverpool into second in the table.

City dominated the opening 45 minutes at the Etihad Stadium, Bernardo being denied one-on-one and Ilkay Gundogan heading on to the bar after 27 minutes.

Sterling eventually broke the deadlock a minute before the interval, latching onto Joao Cancelo’s exquisite outside-of-the boot pass to fire past Jordan Pickford on the half-volley on his 300th Premier League appearance.

Rodri doubled their lead 10 minutes after the break with a wonderful strike, driving the ball powerfully into the top-left corner from 25 yards out.

Pickford denied Sterling his second before Bernardo wrapped up the victory with a close-range finish.

Back-to-back victories take City’s points tally to 26, three fewer than leaders Chelsea.

Everton are 11th with 15 points
