Ronaldo to face Man United in Champions League after UEFA reduced ban

Juventus star, Cristiano Ronaldo will be available to face his former
club, Manchester United, in the Champions League next month after
being handed a one-match ban by UEFA for his red card against
Valencia.

Ronaldo was shown a straight red card by referee, Felix Brych, during
the first half of the encounter, following a coming-together with
Jeison Murillo in an off-the-ball incident.

The Portuguese captain left the field in tears at his debut in the
competition for Juve.

UEFA confirmed that the 33-year-old will be suspended for only a
single game against Young Boys in Turin after its Control, Ethics and
Disciplinary Board (CEDB) decided not to increase the automatic
penalty at a meeting on Thursday.

"The CEDB has decided to suspend the Juventus player Cristiano Ronaldo
for one Uefa competition match for which he would be otherwise
eligible," read a statement on UEFA's official website.
