Where will I get my massage? - Roma's Pallotta mocks UEFA ban
UEFA announced Pallotta's suspension on Friday, the American punished over comments he made after his side's Champions League semi-final defeat to Liverpool.
Pallotta called for VAR to be introduced in the Champions League and complained about "embarrassing" refereeing decisions as Roma exited 7-6 on aggregate despite a 4-2 win at home in the second leg.
Roma's president said he was "dying of laughter" after UEFA charged him and Pallotta did not appear to be taking his ban - which also prevents him from entering the tunnel - seriously either.
"If I'm not allowed in the locker room, not sure where I get my pre-match massage?" Pallotta said in a quote reported on Roma's Twitter account.

Roma's pre-season campaign continued on Friday with a 1-1 draw against Serie B side Avellino in Frosinone.
Patrick Schick headed Eusebio Di Francesco's side in front, but Fabrizio Paghera struck back in added time.
Roma finished third in Serie A last season, qualifying for the Champions League as a result.
