Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Red Card Against Chelsea Will Not be Overturned, Says UEFA
The PSG forward was sent off for a challenge on Oscar in the first half
of his side’s Champions League clash with Chelsea on Wednesday night.Laurent
Blanc’s men went on to secure a 2-2 draw after extra time and progress
to the quarter-finals on away goals despite spending 90 minutes a man
short.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho had even called on UEFA officials to cancel the dismissal but the governing body said referees' decisions are viewed as final unless in a case of mistaken identity.
A UEFA spokesman pointed to its disciplinary regulations which state: "Decisions taken by the referee on the field of play are final and may not be reviewed by the UEFA disciplinary bodies."
Ibrahimovic slammed referee Bjorn Kuipers’ decision and criticised the Chelsea players for their reaction, saying it was like he had “a lot of babies” around him.
