Champions League: Dani Carvajal suspended for two matches

The start of Real Madrid's European campaign did not go as planned for Dani Carvajal.

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.
