La Uefa has decided: Cristiano Ronaldo will miss a Champions League match after being sent off at Valencia-Juventus. Avoidance of a heavier penalty: the Portuguese will not be against Young Boys, scheduled for October 2nd at the Stadium, but will be able to play at home of his former team Manchester United on 23 October. Ronaldo had been sent off for hinting a reaction against defender Murillo: impatient with an opponent's dramatic fall, CR7 had put a hand on his head.
A gesture interpreted by the referee Brych and his additional Fritz as a haircut, therefore punished with red.
