Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid's Portuguese manager, has been handed a five-game European ban, one of which is suspended, for his conduct during and comments after the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, Uefa have confirmed.
The ban, meted out by the governing body for European football, comes following comments made by Mourinho in the immediate aftermath of his side's 2-0 defeat to Barcelona in their Champions League semi-final first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on April 27.

Mourinho will now miss the next three games he manages in Europe having already served a one-match ban in Real's 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp on Tuesday, while the fifth match is suspended for a probationary period of three years.

The controversial Portuguese has also been fined €50,000 by Uefa's control and disciplinary body, while the club itself have been fined €20,000 for the "the improper conduct of their supporters".

The club, in a statement, said: "Real Madrid CF considers this resolution still suffers from the same defects found at the start of the disciplinary case, which made it impossible for our coach to use his right to defend himself, since the exact statements for which the disciplinary case was opened are still unknown.

"Real Madrid CF will appeal this decision before the Uefa appeals body
Mourinho had claimed that Barcelona enjoyed a form of "power" over opponents.

“Each semi-final always brings the same,’’ said Mourinho of Barcelona. “We're talking about a fantastic football team. So why? As a match strategy we were not going to lose.

“I don't know if it’s the advertising for Unicef. I don't know if it's Uefa. Congratulations for a wonderful football team. It must be difficult to get this power. They have managed to get this power. No-one else has any chance really. Arsène Wenger. Today myself. I don't understand why. I hope one day I will find the answer.”

Mourinho's comments not only angered Barcelona, but also former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon.

"I think what he did in terms of talking about Uefa and referees is not acceptable at all. It doesn't match with Real Madrid's history," said Calderon.

"I assume that he's a very, very good manager, but talking like that has been harmful for Real Madrid."

Barcelona reserve goalkeeper Jose Pinto, who was red-carded following an altercation at half-time at the Bernabéu, has been given a three-game ban.

Mourinho and Real have three days to lodge an appeal with Uefa.
