Atlético de Madrid player misses Champions debut due to red card received in 2024; understand what happened

Arnau Ortiz, 24-year-old Spanish striker from Atlético de Madrid, is suspended for the team's Champions League debut against Liverpool on Wednesday at Anfield, due to a red card received in August 2024, when he was still playing for Śląsk Wrocław in Poland. The dismissal happened during the second leg of the third preliminary round of the Europa Conference League against St. Gallen, resulting in a one-match suspension in UEFA competitions. Since Ortiz hasn't played in any UEFA European competition since then, the punishment remained pending and will now be served at the first opportunity for the player to participate in the Champions League, as the sanction applies to all UEFA-organized club competitions.
