Overview
- Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise will serve only the automatic one-match suspension after receiving their third Champions League yellow cards in the first leg at Atalanta.
- Reports from Sport1 and L’Equipe indicate UEFA will not open further disciplinary proceedings or extend the bans.
- UEFA said it evaluates incidents based on official match reports and would publish any sanctions on its disciplinary website.
- The bookings, issued for delays at set pieces late in a 6-1 win, prompted media scrutiny and commentary from ex-referee Manuel Gräfe citing past precedent with Sergio Ramos in 2019.
- Kimmich said he lingered over a free kick due to a lack of safe passing options, an explanation reporting suggests UEFA deemed acceptable.
