The duo took the third warning and will have to comply with automatic suspension. If the Merengue team advances to the quarterfinals, both return normally and are at the disposal of coach Carlo Ancelotti for the sequence of the competition.
To replace Mendy, the Real Madrid coach has Brazilian Marcelo, who is the captain of the Spanish team and should be the starter. In midfield, the Uruguayan Fede Valverde and the French Eduardo Camavinga fight for the position in the absence of Casemiro.
