Benfica have filed a formal complaint to UEFA against Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde over his alleged violent conduct during the first leg of the Champions League's Round of 32. The incident occurred in the 80th minute when Valverde swung his arm towards Samuel Dahl's head, though the level of contact was impossible to determine and VAR didn't intervene.
The teams will meet again next Wednesday with Real Madrid holding a 1-0 lead on aggregate. All players involved—Vinicius, Prestianni, Valverde, and Dahl—are expected to feature in what could be a heated return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
