UEFA Gives Bayern’s Luis Díaz Three-Match Champions League Ban for Foul on Hakimi

Bayern has requested UEFA’s written reasoning to pursue an appeal seeking a reduction.

Overview

  • The suspension follows Díaz’s red card on November 4 against PSG for a heavy challenge on Achraf Hakimi.
  • He is set to miss group games against Arsenal away on November 26, Sporting CP on December 9, and Union Saint-Gilloise on January 21.
  • Díaz remains eligible for domestic competitions, and reports indicated he was in line to start Bayern’s Bundesliga match against Freiburg today.
  • Media reports say Hakimi sustained a left-ankle injury from the tackle that could sideline him for about six weeks.
  • If the ruling stands, Díaz would not feature again in the Champions League until late January 2026.
