The clash between Benfica and Real Madrid continues to fuel tensions. According to Record, UEFA has launched a fast-track investigation into Gianluca Prestianni, just three days after the match. At the same time, the Lisbon club has brought a complaint to the European governing body regarding an incident involving Federico Valverde.

In the 83rd minute, the Uruguayan allegedly slapped Samuel Dahn. The Eagles' management denounces a "suspected assault" and believes the Madrid player should have been sent off, which did not happen.

Neither the referee nor VAR intervened. Benfica is now demanding disciplinary action, further intensifying the already explosive controversy surrounding this European showdown.
