Mad-on-the-cocks 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Former European champions Porto have been thrown out of next season's UEFA Champions League by Uefa. The 2003/04 Champions League winners, under the guidance of Jose Mourinho, were punished after being found guilty of bribing referees in two games in the same season. Porto, who secured their third consecutive Portuguese title this season, were docked six points for their part in the match-fixing scandal - although it failed to make an impact on the table. However, rather than testing themselves against Europe's finest next season, the Portuguese championship find themselves out of the competition altogether. Porto have stated they will do their utmost to overturn Uefa's decision, although the club would not give any reaction to the punishment.

acrossthepond 699 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Oh wow. Wouldn't CSKA Sofia's "financial situation" be greatly improved by participating in the CL rather than being excluded from it? Sounds like a setup if I've ever heard one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
