Despite the defeat against Lille, the complaint that Real Madrid will make to UEFA

Lille is set to face disciplinary action from UEFA following a series of incidents involving flares and smoke during their Champions League match against Real Madrid. The French club could be hit with a hefty fine as a result of the breaches of UEFA regulations.

The use of flares and smoke bombs in football stadiums is strictly prohibited by UEFA, and the incidents that occurred during the Lille-Real Madrid match have drawn the attention of European football's governing body. The pyrotechnics not only create a safety hazard but also disrupt the flow of the game.

"It's clear that the use of flares and smoke bombs is strictly against UEFA regulations," a UEFA spokesperson said. "We take these matters very seriously and we will be investigating the incidents that took place during the match."

While some might argue that the use of pyrotechnics adds to the atmosphere of a football match, UEFA's stance is that it poses a significant risk to the safety of players, officials, and fans. The organization has been working to eradicate the use of flares from football stadiums for many years.

Lille is expected to receive a formal notification from UEFA in the coming days, outlining the specific charges against the club. The French club could face a range of penalties, including fines, stadium closures, or a ban from European competitions.
