Man City boss Pellegrini unhappy with UEFA ban

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini feels his touchline ban from Uefa was excessive. The European governing body last week banned Pellegrini for two matches - with a further one game suspended - for a series of comments about the referee after his side's Champions League loss to Barcelona last month.

Pellegrini said: "I don't think I deserve three games or two games. I said two days after in my news conference that I was wrong in the way I did it but I continue saying that it was not a penalty and that it decided the game, in a bad day (for the referee)."
