Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to face his old club Manchester United in the Champions League next month after UEFA handed the Juventus forward a one-game ban on Thursday.
Ronaldo will miss only Juventus’ home game against Young Boys on October 2.
The 33-year-old tangled with Valencia defender Jeison Murillo, appearing to tug at the player’s hair, in the first half of Juventus’ 2-0 win last week.
It was the first time he was sent off in 15 years of playing in the Champions League.
The Juventus striker left the pitch in tears after seeing red for the off-the-ball incident.
He couldn’t launch an appeal against the straight red received in the 29th minute at the Mestalla.
The former United star clashed with Murillo before the Valencia defender fell theatrically to the ground.
Ronaldo reached down and appeared to grab the hair of the defender, who then stood up and squared up to the Juventus forward.
The 33-year-old was given the marching orders for the 11th time in his career and walked off sobbing.
