Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has been banned for six UEFA matches, two of them deferred, for his improper behavior in last season's Champions League semifinal against Barcelona, UEFA said on Wednesday. His teammate Jose Bosingwa was also suspended for four UEFA matches for his comments after the second leg at Stamford Bridge which ended in a 1-1 draw to send Barca through on away goals. The final match of Bosingwa's ban is also deferred for a probationary period of two years. Drogba will miss the first four of Chelsea's Champions League matches next season. Chelsea was fined 100,000 euros ($138,600) for the improper conduct of its players and the throwing of missiles by the Premier League club's supporters at the end of the tie on May 6. UEFA said that the players and Chelsea had three days to appeal against the decision.
