The Real Madrid pair were cleared to face Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals after UEFA issued a banned ban.
Real Madrid stars Killian Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger were fined by UEFA but were spared from the Champions League quarterfinals due to a “indecent” post-match celebration in the previous round.
Mbappe and Rudiger were given a one-game ban suspended for “violating the basic rules of decent conduct,” UEFA said Friday.
Both are subject to a one-year probationary period.
Madrid will play for Arsenal in the first war of the quarter final on Tuesday.
The charges followed Madrid in the 16th round on March 12, celebrating his penalty shootout victory over city rival Atletico Madrid.

UEFA said Rudiger was fined 40,000 euros ($44,000) and MBappe 30,000 euros ($33,000). Madrid’s third player, Dani Seboros, was fined 20,000 euros ($22,000) without a banned ban.
Uefa said he has not been charged with Vinicius Jr.
