Carvajal remains suspended as UEFA rejects Real Madrid’s appeal
Madrid, Feb 6 (IANS) Real Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal remains suspended for the first leg of the Champions League pre quarter-final, after the capital club’s appeal was dismissed by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) on Tuesday.
The decision means Carvajal is not going to take the field for the first leg of the Round of 16, where Real Madrid are to face Paris Saint-Germain on February 14, reports Efe.
“Given that Carvajal did not participate in the match between Real Madrid CF and Borussia Dortmund played on December 7, 2017, the player still has to serve one UEFA competition match for which he would be otherwise eligible,” the UEFA said in a statement.
The UEFA imposed this sanction on Carvajal for deliberately receiving a yellow card during the APOEL Nicosia match on November 21, 2017.
Real Madrid then appealed the suspension in an attempt to reduce the penalty imposed.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
