All the players start the semifinals of the Champions League clean of cards

Clean and no cards. This is how the players of the Real Madrid the first leg of the semifinals against Manchester City. The same will happen tomorrow in the duel between Liverpool and Villarreal.

This means that, unless they were expelled, all the players will be able to play the two semi-final matches and a hypothetical final without fear of missing the next match.

There is only one scenario that prevents any of the players from missing any of the three games for disciplinary reasons.

First, and most extreme, that he was sent off in this first leg, missing the remainder of the match plus the second leg of next week’s semi-finals. If he could still be in the final, if his team finally plays it. In case of being red, it would be necessary to see the reasons and if this could lead to more than one sanction match.

The second happens because a footballer saw the two yellow cards or the direct red card in the semi-final round. Only in that case would they miss the grand final on May 28 at the Sant Dennis Stadium in Paris.

If the person who saw the second yellow card or the direct red card did not end up playing in the final because his team was eliminated, then this sanction will have to be served on the first group day of any of the European competitions.

The same would happen to the player who plays the two semifinals and the final, being cautioned in each of the matches. This means completing the cycle of three UEFA cards and therefore this cycle will have to be completed next season 2022-2023.
