Officiating in the Champions League has often been stricter than that in Europe’s domestic leagues.
Yellow and red cards are seemingly far more common as refereeing discretion is often replaced with the stern implementation of the law at all times. This results in a lot more players picking up suspensions, with UEFA rules differing from those in domestic leagues.
Here is the full record of bookings, red cards and suspensions in the 2023/24 Champions League campaign.
In the Champions League, a player must receive three yellow cards, of which none led to a red card, to be suspended. This suspension lasts for one match, the same amount of time as any individual red card, although UEFA can extend a ban for a red card offence in extraordinary circumstances.
After receiving three yellow cards, “any subsequent odd-numbered caution” (fifth, seventh, ninth etc.) will result in another suspension.
All yellow cards and suspensions are wiped at the quarter-final stage, meaning a player could only miss the Champions League final in the rare event that they were sent off in the semi-final second leg.
