Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho was last night banned for one game with one game suspended by UEFA after two of his players received suspicious red cards in a Champions League game with Ajax.

"The Spanish club's coach Jose Mourinho has been suspended from coaching activities for two UEFA club competition matches, of which the second is deferred for a probationary period of three years. He was also fined 40,000 euros," read a statement on the UEFA website.

Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos were both fined (20,000 euros each) by UEFA, while goalkeeper Iker Casillas (10,000 euros) and reserve keeper Jerzy Dudek (5,000 euros) were also fined after being captured on television apparently passing messages to them from the dugout.
