FC Bayern München's Franck Ribéry will miss the UEFA Champions League final
after the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body today decided to suspend the
winger for three UEFA club competition matches for assault.
Ribéry received a red card for serious foul play in the UEFA Champions League
semi-final first leg against Olympique Lyonnais in Munich on 21 April. The French
international was banned for last night's second leg in Lyon, which means that
the suspension now remains in place for two further games – the UEFA
Champions League final in Madrid on 22 May and the following match in any
UEFA club competition for which he is eligible.
Bayern may appeal within three days of communication of the decision.
