Benfica have filed a report with UEFA claiming Fede Valverde threw a punch at defender Samuel Dahl in the 83rd minute of their Champions League clash. Former referee Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez backed the Portuguese club's view, stating it should have resulted in a red card for the Uruguayan.
If UEFA finds Valverde guilty of violent conduct, he could face a suspension that might see him miss next week's second leg at the Bernabeu. However, the report suggests the case is unlikely to result in punishment as UEFA would need to discredit the on-field referee and VAR decisions, which is rare.
