BERLIN - Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery will miss next month's Champions League final after UEFA on Wednesday banned him for three matches for assault.
The Frenchman was shown a straight red card for treading on the foot of Lyon striker Lisandro Lopez in the first-leg semifinal last Wednesday, which Bayern won 1-0 in Munich.
He then missed Tuesday's 3-0 second-leg win while serving part of the ban.
