Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a
one-game Champions League ban for being red carded in the match
against Valencia earlier this month, European ruling body UEFA said
Thursday.
Ronaldo was given a controversial red card for seemingly tugging the
hair of Valencia defender Jeison Murillo in the first half of a game
Juventus eventually won 2-0.
The five-time Champions League winner Ronaldo will miss Juventus'
next game in the competition at home to Young Boys of Switzerland on
October 2 but will be eligible for the trip to former
club Manchester United three weeks later.
