- Alvaro Morata and Rodri have been banned for one international match by UEFA.
- The association's disciplinary committee accused the Spaniards of, among other things, "misusing a sporting event for non-sporting purposes." Rodri made a comment about Gibraltar, Morata made fun of Jamal Musiala.
- The two European champions will be absent for the next Nations League match against Serbia. They are expected to return to the squad against Switzerland in Geneva on September 8.
Rodri sang: "Gibraltar is Spanish" during the celebrations after the European Championship final against England in Madrid. At the same event, Morata made fun of the German Jamal Musiala.
The UEFA Disciplinary Committee accused the two players of "breaching the basic rules of decency and misusing a sporting event for non-sporting purposes".
Rodri and Morata are therefore likely to miss the first match of the next Nations League in Serbia and will return to the team against Switzerland in Geneva on September 8.
