Overview
- UEFA imposed a three‑match ban after Díaz was sent off for a heavy foul on Achraf Hakimi in Bayern’s 2–1 win at Paris Saint‑Germain.
- Bayern has requested the written decision and has filed an appeal to contest the length of the suspension.
- Club leaders Jan‑Christian Dreesen and Max Eberl call the punishment excessive, arguing the foul did not constitute violent conduct, while acknowledging appeals rarely succeed.
- Vincent Kompany and Bayern officials had expected a one‑game ban based on early communication from UEFA, leading to surprise at the final ruling.
- If the sanction stands, Díaz will miss the matches at Arsenal on Wednesday, against Sporting Lisbon on December 9, and against Union Saint‑Gilloise on January 21.
