The governing body of European football is investigating a gesture made by Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham during his team’s Champions League match against Manchester City.
The incident occurred in the 55th minute of the match, when Bellingham appeared to make an obscene gesture towards the Manchester City bench.
UEFA has confirmed that it is investigating the incident and that Bellingham could face disciplinary action.
The gesture was widely condemned by pundits and fans on social media, with many calling for Bellingham to be punished.
Bellingham has since apologized for his actions, saying that he regrets making the gesture.
I would like to apologize for my actions during the match against Manchester City, Bellingham said in a statement.
I regret making the gesture and I understand that it was offensive and disrespectful.
I take full responsibility for my actions and I will accept any disciplinary action that UEFA takes against me.
If found guilty, Bellingham could face a suspension from European competition.
- UEFA has a zero-tolerance policy towards offensive gestures and behavior.
- Bellingham could face a suspension of up to three matches if found guilty.
- The incident is a reminder of the importance of respecting opponents and officials in football.
UEFA is expected to announce the results of its investigation in the coming days.
Kind regards E. Thompson.
