For his punch on Burdisso against Inter in the champions league.

BBC said:
Valencia's David Navarro has received a seventh-month European ban for his role in the on-pitch brawl in the Champions League game against Inter Milan.

Is he banned every 7 months or just in July?

No doubt half of that's going to be over the off season so more like a 3 month ban really.

Probably the best you're ever going to get out of UEFA though.

also is that a european competition ban i.e champs league / uefa cup or a full playing ban in any european country ?

It's a full EU ban so he can't play any football in the EU at any level. They're applying to FIFA to make it a World ban. Prob get reduced to the summer holidays - 6 weeks.

Very surprised that Inter never got punished badly, a ridiculously small fine and "don't do it again". I was expecting the worst with their previous record glad nothing more which was mainly individuals anyway ho were punished accordingly.
