Chelsea's Drogba Could Face Ban For Outburst After Barcelona Tie
Didier Drogba could be looking at a lengthy ban because of an unprofessional display after the final whistle blew.
Despite being subbed off midway through the second half, Didier Drogba was amongst the first people to reach the referee and question his motives after the final whistle was blown.
Barcelona snuck past Chelsea to punch their ticket to the Champions League final in Rome in a highly controversial encounter at Stamford Bridge. Decisions made during the game could have proved pivotal to the success of both teams, but Drogba felt Chelsea were more hard done by as the referee waved away several penalty claims.
The Ivorian was so furious with the decisions made by Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo that he angrily confronted the official, pointing fingers in his face and stating that he was a disgrace.
AFP London has reported that Drogba's antics could earn him a lengthy ban from European football, claiming that controversial decisions will not be brought into question regarding the awful behaviour of a professional footballer.
Further adding to the list of indiscretions, the 31-year-old screamed into a nearby television camera screaming that the whole scenario was a "f**king disgrace", another thing that UEFA will take into consideration when deciding the striker's fate.

Chelsea's Jose Bosingwa: Referee Was Bought
The right-back lashed out at the match official following the highly controversial scenes in London on Wednesday night.
Chelsea will not have the chance to repeat last season's story and reach the Champions League final along with Manchester United after a home 1-1 draw against Barcelona.
The Blues, who are out of the competition on away-goals rule, are very critical of Tom Henning Ovrebo as they feel they the referee failed to signal what they describe as clear penalties.
After the game, striker Didier Drogba could not control his emotions and called Ovrebo a "disgrace", and Bosingwa has now echoed the Ivorian's frustration.
"This referee was bought. I do not know if he is a referee or a thief. There are no words to describe the person that was on the pitch here," he told RTP after the game.
"We are all sad, but we have to raise our heads high again. There is nothing to say about Barcelona's goal, but there were penalties that were not awarded."
On the performance of the man in charge of the game, the Portugal international added, "The way he refereed the match was not the most correct one. He should never referee again."
