Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni has been banned for six matches by UEFA for homophobic conduct towards Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior during a Champions League match, with three of those suspended for a two-year period.
The ban additionally includes the one game which the Argentine winger served as a provisional suspension in February, so unless he triggers the suspended three-match ban, he will only be sidelined for two further games.
Vinicius Junior alleged he was racially abused in the knockout play-off first-leg game in Lisbon on 17 February.
UEFA appointed an ethics and disciplinary investigator after the match, with the investigation having concluded Prestianni's conduct was homophobic rather than racist.
European football's governing body said it had requested that FIFA extend the ban worldwide.
It was reported in February that Prestianni had told UEFA he had used a homophobic slur, rather than a racist one.
Vinicius left the field and refused to return after Prestianni's comments, resulting in a stoppage in play lasting 10 minutes.
The incident could yet lead to a law change, with the International Football Association Board (IFAB) set to meet in Canada next week ahead of FIFA Congress to further consider how to deal with players if they cover their mouths to talk to an opponent in a confrontation.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino said last month that a red card should be given, telling Sky News: "If a player covers his mouth and says something, and this has a racist consequence, then he has to be sent off, obviously.
"There must be a presumption that he has said something he shouldn't have said, otherwise he wouldn't have had to cover his mouth."
