REAL Madrid coach Jose Mourinho was banned for five Champions League matches yesterday after accusing UEFA of conspiring to help Barcelona.
UEFA's disciplinary panel ruled that Mourinho made an "inappropriate" comment in a post-match interview. Mourinho also was sent from the dugout for comments to the match officials during the first leg of the semifinals last week.
Mourinho said UEFA and referees actively tried to help Barcelona reach the Champions League final in each of the last three seasons. He served one match of the ban when Real was eliminated in Tuesday's return game at Barcelona, and another match was suspended for three years.
UEFA also fined Mourinho 50,000 euros (US$73,000).
UEFA also banned Barcelona substitute goalkeeper Jose Pinto from the Champions League final for receiving a red card during a touchline brawl at halftime in Madrid.
Pinto sat out the second leg and must now miss the May 28 final against Manchester United and a further match next season.
UEFA also ruled that Real defender Pepe, who missed Tuesday's return leg, should serve no further sanction. It fined Madrid 20,000 euros (US$29,000) because the club's fans threw missiles and invaded the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium field.
