UEFA have banned Valencia midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia for two matches for receiving a yellow card on purpose \u2013 increasing Real Madrid’s worries that Sergio Ramos could face similar punishment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The European governing body announced their decision on\u00a0Kondogbia on Friday, with the 26-year-old having been booked late in Valencia’s Europa League last-32 first leg against Celtic on February 14.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kondogbia was suspended for Thursday’s second leg, which Valencia won 1-0 to advance to the last 16 via a 3-0 aggregate scoreline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has decided\u00a0to suspend the Valencia CF player Geoffrey Kondogbia for two\u00a0UEFA competition matches for which he would be otherwise eligible\u00a0for clearly receiving a yellow card on purpose,” a statement read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kondogbia will now miss both legs of his side’s last-16 tie against FC Krasnodar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With a precedent set, Real Madrid and Ramos will be left sweating over a potentially similar punishment for the defender.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following his side’s\u00a02-1 Champions League\u00a0win at\u00a0Ajax on February 13, Ramos admitted that he had deliberately\u00a0picked up a booking late in the match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Looking at the result, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t force [the booking],”\u00a0 he told reporters after the game. <\/p>\n

“It is not to underestimate the opponent nor to think that the series is over, but in football you have to make tough decisions.”<\/p>\n

The following day UEFA announced that they had opened an investigation into the veteran centre-back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramos later backtracked from his comments with a post on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I want to make it clear that it hurts more than anyone, I have not forced the card, as I did not against\u00a0Roma\u00a0in my previous Champions League match,” the Madrid captain wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

“I will support from the stands as one more fan with the illusion of being in the quarters.”<\/p>\n

However, it appears the damage could already be done, and Ramos could be facing a ban for one or both legs\u00a0of the Champions League quarter-final should Madrid advance past Ajax.\u00a0<\/p>\n
