John Terry given three-match ban for red card against Barcelona
John Terry has been banned for three matches for his dismissal in the Champions League semi-final.
Uefa has confirmed that Terry will miss Chelsea's next two European matches following his red card in the semi-final second leg against Barcelona.
The defender missed Chelsea's victory over Bayern Munich in the final, as he served a mandatory one-match ban, but the ban has now been extended to include the first two games of next season's competition.
Terry was shown a straight red card for thrusting his knee into the back of the Barcelona forward Alexis Sánchez. At the time the tie was finely poised at 1-1 on aggregate and Terry's dismissal appeared to signal the end of Chelsea's hopes, especially as Barcelona made it 2-1 on aggregate soon after.
Chelsea fought back with goals from Ramires and Fernando Torres and went on to lift the trophy following their penalty shoot-out triumph over Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena.
