Real Madrid boss Mourinho has Champions League ban reduced

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has had his Champions League ban reduced.

UEFA have confirmed they have modified the five-match European ban imposed on Real Madrid coach Mourinho so the fourth match, as well as the fifth, is now suspended.

Mourinho was handed the initial punishment in May in relation to the ill-tempered Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona at the Bernabeu, when the Portuguese was sent to the stands during the game and made what UEFA termed "an inappropriate statement" in the post-match press conference.

Mourinho, who served the first match of the ban in the second leg against Barca, was also fined 50,000 euros by UEFA's control and disciplinary body.
