Spain players chanted it at Euro 2024 victory celebrationsUefa says they violated ‘basic rules of decent conduct’
Rodri and Álvaro Morata have each been banned for one Spain match by Uefa for chanting “Gibraltar is Spanish” during celebrations in Madrid of the victory over England in the Euro 2024 final.
Rodri, who plays for Manchester City, and Morata, a Milan striker, chanted “Gibraltar es Español” on stage in front of a massive crowd in the Spanish capital’s Plaza de Cibeles. The Gibraltar Football Association described it as “extremely provocative and insulting” and complained to Uefa, which charged the players.
