MADRID, May 6 -- The governing body of European football, UEFA, has sanctioned Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho with a five game ban following his sending off in the first game of this season's Champions League semifinal and comments made in the post game press conference.

He has also been given a 50,000 euro fine.

Mourinho was sent off by referee Wolfgang Stark for criticizing the decision of referee Wolfgang Stark to send midfielder Pepe off in the second half of the game, which Barca won 2-0 to virtually assure their qualification for the final of the competition.

"Maybe we could have drawn the first game 0-0 and Barca would have won the return leg with merit, but not like this," said Mourinho last week.

"We are out of the final. We will go to Barcelona with our pride and respect for football, but at times it is not nice to live in this world. If we can score the first goal we could leave the tie open, but they will kill us again. It is clear from today that we have no chance," he insisted.

"You can win or draw, but the referee didn't let us. I have won the Champions League twice and I won them on the pitch with Porto and Inter Milan. (Barca coach) Josep Guardiola is a great coach, but he won a Champions League that I would be embarrassed to win, because he won it after the scandal in Stamford Bridge (two years ago) and if he wins this year, he will win after this scandal in the Bernabeu."
