Bayern forward Luis Díaz will now miss two Champions League fixtures instead of three after an appeals panel ruled in his favour and shortened his European suspension.
Díaz was initially handed a three-match ban for his sending-off in a recent Champions League fixture, a decision that would have sidelined him for the remainder of the group stage. After the club lodged a formal appeal, the disciplinary body reviewed the incident and decided the punishment was excessive, reducing the sanction to two games.
The adjustment means Díaz will be eligible to return one match earlier than first expected, providing a timely boost to Bayern’s attacking options in Europe. The club welcomed the ruling, while competition organisers reiterated that disciplinary measures remain subject to review when clubs present additional arguments or mitigating factors.
