Overview
- UEFA reviewed the incidents from Bayern’s match in Bergamo but found insufficient evidence to open disciplinary cases.
- Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise will serve only the automatic suspension for yellow-card accumulation in next week’s return leg against Atalanta.
- Both players were cautioned for time-wasting late in the first game, which sparked scrutiny of their intentions.
- Some observers alleged the bookings were tactical to clear cards before a possible tie with Manchester City or Real Madrid, a claim Kimmich denied.
- While UEFA has extended bans for intentional bookings in past cases such as Sergio Ramos in 2019, no additional punishment will be applied here.
