Dani Carvajal lost his composure during the Champions League opener between Real Madrid and Olympique de Marseille. The Spanish right-back delivered a headbutt to Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli, earning himself a straight red card.

UEFA has now delivered its verdict. The punishment is clear: Carvajal will be suspended for two Champions League matches. This absence deprives Real Madrid of his experience and defensive solidity on the right flank.
