Gattuso banned for four matches

For headbutting Tottenham assistant manager Joe Jordan,Gattuso Milan captaion has been banned for four matches.

The legal banned means he would not be available to team in Europe this season unless they make it to the Champions League final.

Former Rangers star Gattuso faces Jordan at the touchline following Milan's defeat by Spurs at the San Siro last week, grabbing the 59-year-old by the throat before aiming a headbutt at him.

On this act Gattuso later apologize but his agent, Claudio Pasqualin, claimed that Jordan, a former Milan player, had used provocative language towards the midfielder prior to their clash, calling him an "Italian b******".

ordan responded by saying: "To come up with something like that is pathetic. It is completely and utterly untrue and something so wildly inaccurate doesn't do him much credit."

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has said he hoped the incident would not do too much harm to Gattuso.

Speaking before the punishment was announced, he said: "I dont know what happened.

"I've met him before and he was a great lad, I thought what a fantastic boy he was, but he just lost his head on the day."

Milan have confirmed they will be appealing the decision.

Tickets Prices Of Champions League Exposed

For the lowest ticket on general sale for this season's Champions League final is £176 which fans have to pay,it will be played at Wembley on 28 May.

The "category three" tickets cost £150 plus an administration fee of £26.

It has been confirmed that the cheapest ticket will be priced at about £80.

Giorgio Marchetti, said the prices were in line with comparable events such as the World Cup final.

He said: "We don't think that the Champions League final is overpriced.
"We do not want to squeeze every single penny out of the market.

"We have to benchmark this event against other comparable events, like for example the final of the Euros and the World Cup.

"Last year there was already a significant increase compared to the previous editions but it's nothing to do with being in London and it is still priced below comparable events."

Around 11,000 tickets will be available on general sale announced by UEFA.

Prices, not including administration fees, start at £150 rising to £225 and £300, with wheelchair entry costing £80.

A number of £80 tickets will be available among the 25,000 allocated to each club in the final.

Drogba gone in the summer

Didier Drogba has been a mean, moody but splendid focal point of the Chelsea harass for the last seven years. His payment to their final emergence as a real European inspiration has been as great as any player at Stamford Bridge.

He may have cost £24million but stats of 141 goals in 239 starts mark him down as real VFM. Yes, he has always operated on a short moving fuse - never more than when he was sent off in the Champions League final in Moscow - but that's the price you pay for someone who is certainly the real deal.

But with his 33rd birthday looming in March, Drogba could well be the fall guy in the £50million Fernando Torres transfer. This will be heresy for lots of Blues fans but even a figure as talismanic as Drogba has his shelf life.

Milito facing injury lay-off

Champions League last-16 clash against Bayern Munich on February 23 is set to be miss by Inter Milan striker Diego Milito because of an injury.

During Sunday's 5-3 triumph over Roma,Argentina international suffered a hamstring problem.and could be out of action for a month.

A statement from Inter read: "Milito underwent tests which have revealed a second-degree hamstring strain in his left leg."

Inter coach Leonardo said "Diego has to be calm and not think about what has happened," he said. "He does not need to prove anything to anyone and he knows he is an important player to Inter.

"He needs to relax and recover in the best possible way."

In 16 league appearances for Inter this season,Milito has scored five goals.

Redknapp Confidence For Tottenham

In the nail-biting chase for a Champions League place next season,the Gunners and Manchester City as been targeted by Spurs boss as the weakest links.

And he will not budge from his prediction the Premier League crown is heading to Old Trafford for a 12th time with Chelsea breathing down Manchester United's neck.

Spurs can go one better than their fourth-placed finish in the last campaign.

Redknapp "Man City are a good side but it's not impossible to finish above them again.

"Arsenal are hot favourites for third but again it is not impossible - even though we are eight points behind.

"Tottenham are not going to finish above Man United. A 13-point lead? You can't give them that kind of lead.

"And if Rooney hits form United will win the league.

"I would never write off Chelsea. After the first 10 games of the season, you would have given them the title. But they hit a blip and questions were being asked about finishing in the top four - not now."

Spurs have been up there all season despite getting hit by a string of injuries but Redknapp added: "When we get Gareth Bale and Luka Modric back we've got a good team.

"We're good without them but we are better with them because they are our strongest players."

Redknapp regrets not splashing the cash on Dutch midfielder Mark van Bommel, revealing: "Bommel was on a free. He'd have been a good signing.

"He gives you experience. He's been there, played in the Champions League final last year and the World Cup final. He's a proper player."
