Benfica lodged a formal complaint with UEFA after Real Madrid captain Federico Valverde punched Samuel Dahl during the 82nd minute of their Lisbon clash. The Portuguese side claims the act was violent misconduct and should have warranted a red card, but the incident was not reviewed by VAR. The outcome of the appeal remains uncertain, and the second leg is set to be a high‑tension encounter.
