Bayern Munich he found out with great surprise how many matches he will have to sit in the stands Luis Diaz! UEFA sanctioned the Colombian international for 3 stages, eliminated in the match at “Parc des Princes” with PSG (2-1) in the Champions League. It cost him the hard foul, “red” directly dictated after the VAR analysis, on him Achraf Hakimi.
According to BILD, the German champion expected a “less severe sanction after it became clear that Diaz would not get away with a one-match suspension. Bayern has asked UEFA for an explanation of the reasoning behind the decision and intends to appeal to have the punishment reduced.”
“I would be very disappointed if the information turned out to be false!”
On Friday morning, manager Vincent Kompany said, even laughing, in response to a question about the suspension in question that “my sources say it will be a close match. I would be very disappointed if the information turned out to be incorrect.”

Sporting director Christoph Freund reinforced the Bavarian club's conviction: “I also heard about a suspension stage. But the decision will be communicated later.”
And the “bomb” with three games out was detonated by UEFA shortly after. The announcement has really angered Bayern's bosses, who are taking immediate steps to reduce the punishment of the left winger brought in from Liverpool in the summer for 70 million euros!
