Real 3-0 Atletico UEFA opt against ban

Read how MARCA expert Andujar Oliver judged the incident

Some fans were unhappy with an instance during Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday when Sergio Ramos appeared to elbow the back of Lucas Hernandez's head, although it is understood that the defender will not be sanctioned by UEFA.

Rising to meet a ball into the visitor's box during the Champions League semi-final first leg, the centre-back makes contact with his Rojiblancos counterpart but the deliberate nature of the action is up for debate.

MARCA have been informed that UEFA are to opt against taking any action on Ramos given that the referee did not see the incident and thus it has to be considered excessively violent to receive post-game punishments.

The football governing body does not believe that applies to this case, and therefore the Real captain is set to feature in the return game next Wednesday.
