According to Ass, Real Madrid defender Carvajal may be suspended for 2-4 games due to red cards in the Champions League match against Marseille.

Under UEFA Discipline Ordinance, Carvajal's Marseille goalkeeper Ruli will be punished for his actions. Although Kavajal argued that his impact was not enough to cause Ruri to fall, UEFA's discipline regulations have clear provisions on such behavior. Specifically, Article 15 provides for “non-sporting ethical conduct of a player or coach” and provides that such conduct will be suspended for 1 to 3 games. If the action is deemed an attack, the number of bans may increase.

A recent similar case was Savage's elbow to Rudiger in Chelsea's match against Atletico Madrid in 2021. Although Savage's strength was not enough to bring Rudiger down, UEFA still imposed a four-game suspension, which was later reduced to three games. Looking back further, in 2011, Gattuso was suspended for five games for head-bumping Joe Jordan against Tottenham in Milan. In the same year, Barello was suspended for three games in the Champions League qualifier against Odense in Villarreal.

At present, Real Madrid and Carvajal are both waiting for the final ruling of the UEFA Discipline Committee, hoping to get leniency. However, regardless of the outcome, Kavajal will face a certain amount of bans. If banned two games, he will miss the match against Almaty Keirat and Juventus; if banned three games, it will also include the match against Liverpool; if banned four games, it will need to add the match against Olympiacos.
