PSG: Hernandez hit with heavy ban in the Champions League

Lucas Hernandez, 29 years old, defender for Paris Saint-Germain, has received a three-match suspension following his expulsion this weekend. According to UEFA's disciplinary committee, he will only be able to return to the European Cup during the final phase of the Champions League, a real setback for Parisian defensive management.

This suspension comes at the least ideal time for Paris Saint-Germain, which loses one of its defensive pillars for the entire end of the European group stage. Lucas Hernandez, 29, is not only an experienced player: he is a benchmark in aggression, leadership, and the ability to handle tense matches. His absence forces Luis Enrique to restructure an already physically strained line and deprives the team of a player accustomed to facing the highest level.

PSG will therefore have to secure its qualification without him, hoping to avoid any defensive mishaps. Beyond the simple sporting blow, this sanction also serves as a reminder of how every detail counts in the Champions League: a poorly controlled gesture can weigh on a team for several weeks. Paris will have to move forward without faltering to recover Hernandez in the decisive phase.
