Breaking uefa bans evra seven months

You're referring to the case of Patrice Evra, the former French international footballer who played for Manchester United and Juventus, among other clubs.

In 2011, Evra was banned by UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) for seven months after he was found guilty of using insulting words towards referee Nicola Rizzoli during a Champions League match between Manchester United and Real Madrid on April 28, 2010.

Evra had been accused of using abusive language towards Rizzoli, which led to a red card being shown to him. The incident sparked a heated debate about the behavior of players towards referees, with many calling for greater respect and discipline on the pitch.

UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body (CDB) subsequently opened an investigation into the incident and, after considering evidence and testimony, imposed a seven-month ban on Evra, which was backdated to the date of the original incident.

The ban meant that Evra missed the remainder of the 2010-11 season, including the Champions League final, which Manchester United went on to win. He was also fined €10,000 (approximately £8,500).

Evra's ban was eventually lifted in November 2011, after he had served the full seven-month suspension.
