Didier Drogba could be facing a lengthy ban from European football after angrily confronting Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo at the end of Chelsea's controversial Champions League semi-final second leg match.
Chelsea had legitimate grounds for complaint after being denied at least two good penalty appeals by the referee - who was still considered good enough by UEFA to officiate at last year's Euro 2008 championships - but that will not be regarded as any excuse by UEFA when they come to judge Drogba's conduct.
Ovrebo had to be escorted from the pitch by a platoon of stewards with Drogba apparently bent on a physical confrontation.
