Benfica has lodged a formal complaint with UEFA after Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde allegedly swung his arm at Samuel Dahl in the 80th minute of the Champions League Round of 32 first leg. VAR did not intervene and no suspension is expected.
The two sides will meet again next Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Real Madrid holding a 1‑0 aggregate advantage. The return leg could see a heated clash as Valverde, Vinicius, Prestianni and Dahl are likely to start.
