UCL: Ronaldo Cleared To Face Man United After One-Match Ban
Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been cleared to face his
former club Manchester United next month after Uefa ruled he must serve
only a one-match ban for his
Champions League red card.
Ronaldo was sent off during Juve’s 2-0 win over Valencia last week after appearing to pull defender Jeison Murillo’s hair and will miss Juve’s next Champions League game against Swiss club Young Boys on 2 October.
A one-game ban is automatic – with no right of appeal – but Uefa regulation 50.01 for the competition says that “in case of serious offenses, the Uefa control, ethics, and disciplinary body is entitled to augment this punishment.”
Juventus will play United in Group H at Old Trafford on 23 October.
