Didier Drogba and Jose Bosingwa have been banned from next season's Champions League group stages for their inappropriate behaviour last month.
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba will have to join his teammate Jose Bosingwa during next season's Champions League group stages in watching from the stands, as both players have been suspended from the European competition from their improper conduct during Chelsea's semi-final ousting by Barcelona.
UEFA released the punishment for both the players and the club today on their official website, with the statement concluding that Chelsea have been fined €100,000 for the inappropriate behaviour from their staff and fans - who proceeded to throw projectiles at their opposing support during the incident.

Drogba's punishment will see him miss out on four of the UEFA club competition matches, while Jose Bosingwa got of a tad lighter, the Portugal international only having to sit out for three. The pair are also said to be on a probationary period of two years, sanctioned by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body.
Both the players and club have been informed by the institution that they may appeal against the decisions reached within three days.
