Tottenham forward Heung-min Son will miss the Champions League semi-final first leg against Ajax through suspension.
The Korean picked up a yellow card early in the second half after bringing down Kevin De Bruyne and, having been at risk of a one-game ban, the Spurs winger will now be forced to sit in the stands.
In one of the most memorable games in Champions League history, Manchester City beat Tottenham 4-3 on the night at the Etihad Stadium.
But the north London side prevailed 4-4 on aggregate thanks to the away goal rule, sealing their place in the last four for the first time in their history.
Son was one of the heroes on an incredible night for Spurs scoring twice in an sensational quarter-final tie but he will not have the chance to play in the first leg following his booking.
And when he was informed of his ban by Sky Sport in Germany after the game - as captured by journalist Archie Rhind-Tutt - Son could only respond with a heartbreaking "I didn't know!"
