Are yellow cards wiped out ahead of semi-finals? | UEFA Champions ...

It's a ridiculous system. A player who receives a yellow card in the first group game and the quarter-finals (two yellow cards in five games) is banned for the semi-finals, but a player who receives a yellow card in the quarter-finals and the semi-finals (two yellow cards in two games) can play in the final.

I read it as, "cards do NOT carry on after the group stages" So your scenario can't happen, but am I reading it right


Plus, I'm not a lover of changing winning teams, but I wouldn't play anyone on a yellow

I don't think you are reading it right. Playoffs and groups are different stages.

So you're saying cards carry over after all group games finish ?

From this site https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footb...rules-24263836

"UEFA also clarify that picking up four bookings in four separate games will result in a second suspension for players.

This means a booking in the opening two games followed by a booking in the round of 16 and quarter-finals would see you miss the semi-final."

and also it says this

"
The rules for the tournament do however state that yellow cards have a reset button also, just like the Premier League. After completion of the quarter-final round, single cautions will be wiped from the record meaning you can't pick up a suspension for the final for a yellow card in the semi-final. "

That's not what the rules say for 2020.
