Real Madrid have finally succeeded in getting a positive response from UEFA in relation to the ban they imposed on Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, couple of months back. Mourinho had challenged the ruling which UEFA gave and had asked the reason for him being banned.
This is what I got from Goal.com:
A statement on Uefa’s official website reads: “After hearing the parties and looking at various pieces of evidence, the appeals body decided to modify the sanction.
“The five-match ban, with the fifth game suspended for a probationary period of three years, is changed to a five-match ban, with the fourth and fifth fixtures suspended for a probationary period of three years. The €50,000 fine imposed on Mourinho stays.”
There is also a fine of 20 ooo euros on Real Madrid, I think it was for some fan behavior during that Barcelona game. I have got to say, what Mourinho said was not something of shock to anyone I think. I think, what he was trying to point to had a lot of reality. Barcelona did get a lot of unfair decisions from the referee and it has happened a lot in the past as well.
The funny thing is that it is always Barcelona who benefits from the referee’s decision, rarely in a big match would you see it the other way around.
Anyway, some financial news. Real Madrid have signed a 5 year contract with Emirates and now they will be responsible for all l things air. Meaning that Emirates will become Real Madrid’s official air line.
A statement on the club’s official website reads:
“Real Madrid and Emirates presented a new sponsorship deal for the next five years. The act was attended by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez; Salim Obaidalla, Emirates’ Senior Vice-President, Commercial Operations, Europe & Russian Federation; Boutros Boutros, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President, Corporate Communications; and 20 players of the first team squad.”
