UEFA Suspends Bayern's Luis Díaz for Three UCL Matches
Bayern Munich winger Luis Díaz has been handed a three-match suspension by UEFA for his red card in the team's Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, ruling him out of key fixtures including the upcoming clash with Arsenal.
The Colombian international was sent off in first-half stoppage time during Bayern's 2-1 win at the Parc des Princes on November 4. Díaz had scored both goals for the visitors before lunging into a challenge on PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi, which UEFA classified as serious rough play. The incident left Hakimi with an ankle ligament injury, sidelining the Moroccan defender for up to six weeks. Referees initially showed Díaz a yellow card, but a video review upgraded it to a straight red, extending the standard one-match ban to three games.
Díaz will miss Bayern's away match against Arsenal on November 26, as well as home games versus Sporting CP on December 9 and Union Saint-Gilloise on January 21. He remains eligible for the team's final league-phase fixture against PSV Eindhoven on January 28. The suspension applies only to UEFA competitions, allowing Díaz to feature in domestic matches.
