UEFA has announced that bookings
accrued throughout continental
competitions will expire after the
quarter-finals. The UEFA Emergency Panel met on
Wednesday, and have decided to
implement the rule following a
suggestion from the UEFA Club
Competitions Committee. Such a system is already in use in the
UEFA European Championships, and will
now be adopted in the Champions
League and Europa League from this
season. "Following a recommendation by the
UEFA Club Competitions Committee - in
order to implement in UEFA club
competitions a rule which is already in
force in the UEFA European Football
Championship - the Emergency Panel decided that, as of this season, all
yellow cards from the beginning of
the group stage will expire on
completion of the quarter-finals,"
read a statement. "Bookings will therefore not be
carried forward to the semi-finals." Previously a player would have missed
one match of the competition if three
yellow cards were received from the
group stages through to the semi-
finals. The new rules mean there will be no
repeat of last season's scenario
where Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso was
suspended for the Champions League
final with rivals Atletico Madrid. Alonso received three bookings
throughout the tournament, the last
of which came in Real's semi-final
second leg against Bayern Munich. Under the new ruling, Alonso would be
allowed to play as his previous
cautions would have expired.
