Bayern to Appeal UEFA’s Three-Match Champions League Ban for Luis Díaz

An initial UEFA notice suggested only a one-game suspension, prompting the club to seek a reduction.

Overview

  • UEFA handed Díaz a three-match suspension after his red card in Bayern’s 2-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain.
  • FC Bayern has requested UEFA’s written reasoning and plans to file an appeal targeting a shorter ban.
  • CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said the harsher penalty contradicted an earlier letter and argued the foul did not fit past three-game precedents.
  • Sporting director Max Eberl cautioned that reductions are rare but said even one game off the sanction would be a positive outcome.
  • If the ban stands, Díaz will miss the Champions League fixtures at Arsenal, against Sporting Lisbon, and against Union Saint-Gilloise.
