UEFA release statement on why Real Madrid penalty was rescinded

Declan Rice escaped a controversial yellow card when Real Madrid saw a penalty run away after a five-minute VAR check.

UEFA then confirmed the call with a short explanation.

They said, “The punishment for Real Madrid was removed because of a non-foul by Declan Rice.”

That turned out to be a big postponement for rice, which went into the collision in Madrid knowing that a yellow card would see him suspend against PSG for the first stage.
