Liverpool playmaker Roberto Firmino has been banned from driving for a year and fined £20,000 for drunk-driving.
The 25-year-old Brazil international was arrested after his car was stopped in Liverpool city centre in the early hours of Christmas Eve.
Firmino was taken to a police station and breathalyzed.
In a statement, the Liverpool FC forward said what he did was wrong and he had apologized.
The club said it had "disciplined" him but the action would remain private.
