Ribery was handed a three-game ban by Uefa for fouling Lyon's Lisandro Lopez
Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery will miss the Champions League final after the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected his appeal against a ban.
The 27-year-old France playmaker turned to Cas after Uefa imposed a three-match suspension following his red card for a tackle on Lyon's Lisandro Lopez. Uefa had already dismissed an appeal and on Monday Cas upheld the decision.
Saturday's final clash against Inter Milan in Madrid will be the second match of Ribery's European ban.
Cas said it would reveal the reasons for its decision "in a few days" but the court's secretary general, Matthieu Reeb, said that judges were reluctant to interfere in refereeing judgements.
