Dani Carvajal clashed with Bukayo Saka at half-time during Arsenal’s win over Real Madrid (TNT Sports) Dani Carvajal is facing a possible suspension from UEFA over his clash with Bukayo Saka during Real Madrid’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Mikel Arteta’s side secured their place in the Champions League semi-final where they will play Paris Saint-Germain following their victory at the Santiago Bernabeu. Arsenal held a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg last week but missed the chance to extend that advantage in the first half as Saka’s penalty was saved by Thibaut Courtois. However, Saka made amends in the 65th minute as he beat Courtois with a neat dinked finish after being put through on goal by Mikel Merino. Two minutes later, Vinicius Junior capitalised on a mistake from William Saliba to pull Madrid level but Gabriel Martinelli sealed Arsenal’s victory in injury time to silence the Bernabeu. Saka, meanwhile, was at the centre of a bust-up with Carvajal as the players headed down the tunnel for the half-time break. Bukayo Saka saw his Panenka penalty saved by Thibaut Courtois (Getty) Carvajal, who missed the game after undergoing knee surgery in October, made a beeline Saka and grabbed the Arsenal winger around the neck while he spoke to him. But as Saka went to walk away, Carvajal held the 23-year-old by the arm and refused to let go before a member of Arsenal’s backroom staff stepped in to intervene. In the closing stages of the game, Carvajal was seen watching the match from one of the corporate boxes at the Bernabeu. According to Marca, Carvajal confronted Saka because he was unhappy with the Arsenal winger’s ‘disrespectful’ decision to take a Panenka penalty against Madrid at the Bernabeu. But Carvajal, who scored a Panenka penalty in a shootout against Croatia in Spain’s Nations League final win in 2023, now faces punishment from UEFA for his clash with Saka. As Carvajal was injured, he was not included in Madrid’s squad for the game against Arsenal and should not have been allowed in the technical area at any point during the match. In 2014, Xabi Alonso was given a one-game ban by UEFA for his touchline celebration in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid. Alonso was unable to play in the final due to suspension and was not permitted to be on the bench during the game as he was not in the squad. The former Liverpool midfielder was subsequently suspended for Madrid’s Super Cup final against Sevilla. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
