Benfica have formally reported Real Madrid's Federico Valverde to UEFA for violent misconduct following his altercation with Samuel Dahl in the 82nd minute. The Portuguese club claims Valverde punched the Benfica player to gain advantage, an action they believe warranted a red card.
Although the incident was not reviewed by VAR, Benfica insists the club must be held accountable. It is highly unlikely Valverde will face a suspension for the second leg, though sanctions against match officials remain a possibility.
