Gibraltar government 'satisfied' with Rodri and Morata sanctions

The Gibraltar government has welcomed the one-match ban imposed by UEFA on Spanish national team players Alvaro Morata and Rodrigo Hernandez for their chants of "Gibraltar is Spanish" during the Euro 2024 victory celebrations in Madrid.
Gibraltar's chief minister Fabian Picardo considers that "UEFA's decision is a clear message to all those who mix sport and politics" and that it "justifies the Gibraltar Football Association's decision to take action and complain".
Meanwhile, Gibraltar's Minister for Sport Leslie Bruzon argues that this decision "highlights that the players' actions violated UEFA's Disciplinary Regulations, specifically Article 11, which emphasises respect, ethical conduct, loyalty, integrity and sportsmanship".
