Diego Simeone will watch the Europa League final from the stands after the Atletico Madrid manager was handed a four-game touchline ban by UEFA.

Simeone’s suspension includes one match which has already been served – the La Liga side’s 1-0 victory against Arsenal in the Europa League semi-final second-leg on Thursday, while he has also been fined $10,000.
