Chelsea win for me tonight. Costa is back and PSG have never looked as good as the sum of their parts. Only thing that makes a draw or PSG win likely is Mourinho deciding to play for a draw away from home.

I think PSG have a fair number of injuries unfortunately.

Remember Markovic's ridiculous red card vs Basel? UEFA have given him a 4 game ban for it

Rumours abound that Fabregas will miss the tie due to a flu-like illness. Also reports that Oscar has picked up a knock.

If Fabregas is out, then a "park the bus" style defend and counter approach seems all but certain. We'll see.

I remember his deserved red against Basel and the reason it is 4 instead of the usual 3 is because of a previous red when he was playing for Basel against Juventus.

Sorry, Benfica and he did deserve the red. He looked behind him and lashed out at the other player.

And how long the standard ban is for a red in UEFA competitions.

And how long the standard ban is for a red in UEFA competitions.

So what is the standard ban length for a red card?

 

[G-MAN2004]

PSG 1-2 Chelsea
Shakhtar 0-3 Bayern

 

[BaZ87]

So what is the standard ban length for a red card?

1 game iinm.

As a rule, a player who is sent off the field of play is suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition.

Same for second yellow as straight red? That doesn't seem like a standard at all if that is the wording.

 

[Purdy]

Why would the ban be extended for something that happened last year (last year he shouldn't have been sent off either)

Read the link, yes. UEFA can extend it but the standard punishment is 1 game.
