Real Madrid boss cops touchline ban

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has been given a two-game touchline suspension by the Spanish Football Federation, reports Sky Sports. The decision means the former Milan boss will be unable to sit on the bench for the rest of the La Liga season.

Ancelotti was reported by referee Carlos Clos Gomez for sarcastically applauding the officials at the end of Madrid's 2-2 draw with Valencia on Saturday.

However, the Italian will be available in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second-leg with Juventus as well as in the final should Real Madrid get through.
