On the evening of July 19, Beijing time, UEFA officially announced that it would investigate the possible violations of the rules by two Spain internationals, Rodri and Morata, in the championship parade. More information on this matter will be provided in due course. And the rootsAccording to Marca, if UEFA ultimately decides that the move violates UEFA's disciplinary rules, then the two will face two bans.

In the previously concluded European Championship final, Spain defeated England 2-1, and after 12 years, the team won the European Championship for the fourth time in history, and at the celebration of returning home, Spain defender Rodri, who plays for Manchester City, held the microphone and sang: "Gibraltar is Spain!" Alvaro Morata, a teammate on the side, hurriedly stopped: "Brother, you are playing in England." And Rodri responded: "I don't care! ”

As we all know, Rodri is currently playing for defending Premier League champions Manchester City, and with him having just led the team to a European Championship final victory over England, his controversial comments will undoubtedly cause discontent in the United Kingdom and Gibraltar.

After the incident, the Gibraltar Football Federation will file a formal complaint with UEFA. The complaints concerned inappropriate ballads and songs sung by Spain players after winning Euro 2024, some of which were extremely provocative and insulting in relation to Gibraltar. In football, this kind of behavior is unacceptable.

Gibraltar is strategically located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, covering an area of about 5.8 square kilometres, choking the Eastern Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean. Historically, Gibraltar was once a Spain territory, occupied and colonized by the United Kingdom in 1713, and the question of sovereignty over the region is still highly disputed between Britain and Spain.
