UEFA Hands Bayern’s Luis Díaz Three-Match Champions League Ban

The punishment follows his red-card challenge on PSG’s Achraf Hakimi, which UEFA classified as serious rough play.

Overview

  • The Colombian winger will miss the trip to Arsenal on Nov. 26 plus home games against Sporting on Dec. 9 and Union Saint-Gilloise on Jan. 21.
  • Díaz was sent off in Bayern’s 2-1 win at PSG after a dangerous tackle on Achraf Hakimi, who suffered a severe ankle sprain and has not played since.
  • Bayern have requested clarification from UEFA on the ruling, with German reports suggesting an appeal is under consideration.
  • Head coach Vincent Kompany had expected only a one‑match suspension and has urged Díaz to focus on domestic fixtures during the European absence.
  • Bayern top their Champions League group with 12 points from four matches as they prepare to face second-place Arsenal.
