Cristiano Ronaldo was awarded his first Red card in 154 UCL games. The incident that will be talked about for a long time. The player may be ageing in number but not in emotions. The Portugal Galactico was seen crying after the referee ordered him a direct exit for an altercation with Valencia defender Murillo. Tough as it may seem, the decision could turn out to be a resulting factor in Group. No team can afford to lose a player of such class.
Ronaldo was suppose to return to Old Trafford after a long spell but he could miss a return to Old Trafford when Juventus plays Manchester United next month if he gets at least a two-match ban.
According to UEFA rules, a player who is sent off is suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition. And in case of “serious offences,” UEFA could increase the suspension and even extend it to other competitions.
Juventus will welcome Young Boys next in the competition before two straight games against United, with the first leg coming at Old Trafford on October 23.
A good news for Man United, to be in the group of UCL’s best player but not to face him, if the player’s suspension is increased. Where the whole of world will be wanting Ronaldo to be on the pitch against United, his former coach Mourinho will be against the world in this matter as he is aware of what a threat the Portuguese can be.
