The Champions league witnessed match between Chelsea and Barcelona at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. UEFA has received delegate’s and referee’s report. Not only this, they are also in the process of collecting additional evidence so that they can decide on the disciplinary action against Chelsea. The result will be declared next week. While the London club faces the charge of being unable to control its players, the four Chelsea players are charged individually for pestering Norwegian referee Tom Henning Overbo and for comments post match.
Player Diddier Drogba argued with the referee in tunnel and on the pitch. He is likely to face the sternest action. When fourth penalty appeal was turned down by the referee, Michael Ballack ran 40 yards to confront with him. He was given a yellow card for the same. Skipper John Terry criticized Overbo and will be charged for this. The fourth player is Chelsea full-back José Bosingwa. He is convicted of calling the referee a thief who was bought. Jose has no doubt apologized for commenting like this.
The controlling body might ban Drogba to play some matches. However, they will be taking video evidences for their decision. Referee Overbo is out of England after the match is not commenting anything on the incident as asked by UEFA. Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink tried to question referee’s decision but was of no use. The UEFA spokesman said “We never comment on the performance of the referee.” We all are waiting for a fair decision from UEFA’s general secretary David Taylor as we all believe that the chaotic scenes have disgraced Champions League.
