The European Football Federation (UEFA) has decided to impose a penalty on Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos for stopping two continental matches "for a warning".
MADRID (Reuters) – Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid has been banned from two continental games for "warning".
Ramos was given a yellow card after a foul against Ajax Amsterdam's Casper Dolberg in the 89th minute of the Champions League second leg match, which ended in a 2-1 victory in the Netherlands .
Ramos, 32, will miss the second leg on Tuesday.
The suspension of Ramos' return match would have reduced his chances of a possible absence of the larger matches if Real continued his career.
In a TV interview after the match, Ramos said, "I'm going to lie if I say I was not intentional."
But the defender subsequently issued a statement clarifying his earlier statements: "I was referring to the deliberate wrongdoing.The mistake was not avoidable.Do not talk about deliberate warning . "
"That's why I said I would lie if I said I did not know I would be punished, but I knew I had no choice but to make a mistake. That's what I meant when I said that in football, we have to make tough decisions. "
The decision of the European Union means that Ramos will be suspended in the return match against Ajax in Santiago Bernabeu next week and in the quarterfinal match if the defending champions qualify for the tournament.
