UEFA took pity on Luis Diaz (center), and the headquarters reduced his Champions League ban. Thus, the Bayern Munich striker will miss only one match, reports BTA. Luis Diaz committed a reckless foul on Achraf Hakimi from Paris Saint-Germain, for which he was sent off, and UEFA imposed a sanction of missing 3 matches. Diaz appealed, and UEFA announced that Diaz's objection to the charge of “serious foul“ has been confirmed, without specifying why.
This means he will miss Bayern's Champions League home game against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, but could return against Belgium's Union Saint-Gilloise next month.
As is well known, Diaz scored twice before being sent off in the landmark 2-1 win over PSG last month. He made a dangerous tackle on Hakimi's left leg, which appeared to be momentarily trapped before he fell.
