Real Madrid winger Rodrygo was handed a two-match ban in the Champions League for abusive language, ruling him out of the knockout phase playoffs.
The Brazil international was sent off in the dying moments of Los Blancos’ 4–2 defeat against Benfica in the league phase finale after arguing with on-pitch official Davide Massa. At first, Rodrygo was only shown a yellow card before he was quickly sent packing for continued dissent.
