Terry can lift trophy

John Terry: Cleared to lift the Champions League trophy and collect his medal should Chelsea beat Bayern Munich

Chelsea captain John Terry will be able to lift the Champions League trophy and collect his medal should the Blues beat Bayern Munich, UEFA has confirmed. 

Terry is suspended for the final at the Allianz Arena on May 19th following his red card against Barcelona in Tuesday's semi-final second leg at Camp Nou.

However, despite having to watch the match from the stands, Europe's governing body has confirmed Terry would be able to join in with any post-match celebrations.

A statement read: "If Chelsea win the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final, John Terry will be allowed to lift the trophy and collect the medal."

Terry was shown a straight red card during the first half of their semi-final against Barcelona when he kneed Alexis Sanchez in the back.

Despite the setback, 10-man Chelsea went on to record a famous result as they held the hosts to a 2-2 draw, as Fernando Torres struck a late goal to progress 3-2 on aggregate.

After the game Terry apologised to Chelsea fans and his team-mates for the dismissal.
UEFA's control and disciplinary body will decide the length of Terry's suspension on May 31st.
