Arsenal midfield maestro Declan Rice is reportedly facing a potential UEFA ban following his post-match comments after the 1-1 Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid.
Rice was vocal in his criticism of referee Danny Makkelie, suggesting that the hostile atmosphere at the Metropolitano influenced the official's decision to overturn a crucial penalty for a foul on Eberechi Eze.
According to The Times, UEFA is set to scrutinize Rice’s remarks to determine if they call the integrity of match officials into question.
While Rice is expected to be available for the return leg at the Emirates Stadium next Tuesday, any disciplinary sanction could prove costly.
If the Gunners advance and Rice is found in breach of UEFA's conduct codes, he could potentially be suspended for the Champions League Final.
