Navarro banned for seven months

UEFA has fined Valencia CF and FC Internazionale Milano - and banned Valencia defender David Navarro for seven months - following last week's incidents.

The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body has fined both Valencia CF and FC Internazionale Milano €155,772 (CHF250,000), and suspended Valencia defender David Navarro for seven months, following the incidents that took place at the end of last week's UEFA Champions League encounter in Spain.

Official reports
After examining the official reports of the delegate and referee, as well as video evidence, the UEFA disciplinary body has also imposed bans on several other players from both teams for their part in the goings-on after the final whistle. The first knockout round, second leg finished 0-0, with Valencia progressing to the quarter-finals on away goals after a 2-2 first-leg draw.

Others banned
In addition to Navarro, Inter defenders Nicolás Burdisso and Maicon have been suspended for six matches and Valencia defender Carlos Marchena for four. Inter centre-back Iván Córdoba and striker Julio Cruz have received three and two-match bans respectively.

Request to FIFA
UEFA said it would now ask world football's governing body FIFA to extend the suspension imposed on Navarro to international level so it also applies to any football competition - including domestic leagues and national-team fixtures - on top of UEFA club competition matches. The bans handed to the other players will only apply to UEFA club competition games. Appeals may be lodged against any of these decisions within three days of receipt of the written grounds for the decisions.
