Ribery banned from Champions League final

Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery will miss the Champions League final after being banned for three games by UEFA.

The French international was sent off for serious foul play in the first leg of Bayern's semifinal triumph over Lyon, and UEFA announced the ban Wednesday.

He already sat out Tuesday's 3-0 victory in Lyon, and the second game he will miss is the May 22 final in Madrid against either Barcelona or Inter Milan, who play later Wednesday.

Bayern has three days to appeal.
