Morata, Rodri banned by UEFA for 'Gilbraltar is Spanish' song 

Spain duo Alvaro Morata and Rodri have been handed bans for one game each by Europe's football ruling body, UEFA  after they chanted "Gibraltar is Spanish" during their side's Euro 2024 victory celebrations.

The Gibraltar Football Association (GFA) made an official complaint about the  Spanish players' celebrations to European football's governing body before the pair were charged.

UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body consequently suspended Morata and Rodri "for failing to comply with the general principles of conduct, for violating the basic rules of decent conduct, for using sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature and for bringing the sport of football, and UEFA in particular, into disrepute."

The ban is for Spain's next game, which is against Serbia, a UEFA Nations League game on Thursday, 5 September.

Gibraltar is an enclave at Spain's southern tip that has been under British rule since the 18th century, and Spain has long called for its return.
