Navarro gets seven-month ban

18/03/2007

 

David Navarro got a seven-month ban for his role in the brawl in Italy. Valencia was playing Inter Milan in their second leg of the Champions League when a fight broke off, after the Valencia's midfielder Marchena appeared to kick out at Burdisso, with whom he exchanged some words beforehand. Navarro, who was a substitute in the game, ran out on the field and punched Burdisso, breaking his nose. Navarro ran after the punch, which made Inter Milan's coach Roberto Mancini to label him as "coward" in a later interview about the incident.

 Uefa handed the following sentences:

  • Valencia:  
    • David Navarro - seven months
    • Carlos Marchena - four games
  • Inter:
    • Nicolas Burdisso - six games
    • Maicon - six games
    • Ivan Cordoba - three games
    • Julio Cruz - two games
  • Both clubs were fined £106,000

 Valencia, which moved ahead in the Champions League after finishing 0-0 with Inter Milan, will be appealing the ruling.
