Bayern launch appeal over “very harsh” three-game Diaz ban

Luis Diaz (Bayern Munich)
November 2025

Luis Diaz has been hit with a three-match Champions League ban for a red-card tackle on Achraf Hakimi in Bayern’s win at Paris Saint-Germain, with UEFA classing the challenge as “serious rough play” after the defender suffered a badly sprained ankle. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen says Bayern have requested UEFA’s written reasoning and will appeal, arguing the foul was serious but not violent conduct, while sporting director Max Eberl admits three games feels very harsh and that even a reduction to two would be a success.
