The 25-year-old was charged by UEFA for “receiving a yellow card on purpose” after he was cautioned in the final minute of Zinedine Zidane’s side’s victory in Cyprus for time-wasting over a throw-in.
The UEFA Committee of Ethics and Discipline has upheld a two-match ban despite Madrid lodging an appeal over the decision.
Nacho Fernandez is now likely to start in this month’s first leg tie against the Ligue 1 leaders.
