Are they trying to silence him? UEFA sanctioned “Dibu” Martínez for his show on penalties

Are they trying to silence him?  UEFA sanctioned “Dibu” Martínez for his show on penalties

The goalkeeper was cautioned twice in the match but did not receive a red card because he was given a card in the match and another when he was doing his show from the twelve paces, an instance in which yellow cards in regulation time are not counted.

“Warnings and cautions issued during the match (including during extra time) do not carry over to kicks from the penalty spot,” says IFAB rule 10.

In any case, despite not having been sent off, Martínez will miss the next match of the tournament in the first leg of the semifinal, against Olympiakos of Greece, for having accumulated three cards in consecutive matches.

In any case, the world champion will return in the rematch to be played in Athens, where it will be decided who will play in the grand final against the winner of the match between Fiorentina of Italy and Club Brugge of Belgium.
