UEFA changes rule on yellow cards

UEFA has changed the rules on yellow cards to make it harder for players to be suspended for the Champions League and Europa League Finals.

The European governing body has decided that yellow cards accrued will be wiped out after the quarter-final stage.

Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso missed last season's Champions League Final after picking up a third caution in the semi-finals against Bayern Munchen.

The rule was first implemented at EURO 2012 in Ukraine and Poland.

But this is the first time it has been implemented in major European club contests.

Spanish midfielder Alonso is among other players who have missed the Final after picking up a booking in the last 4 - Roy Keane and Paul Scholes suffered a similar fate in 1999.

Branislav Ivanovic, Ramires and Raul Meireles of Chelsea and David Alaba, Holger Badstuber and Luis Gustavo of Bayern all missed the 2012 Champions League Final.

Alonso appeal rejected

UEFA has rejected Real Madrid's appeal against the one-match suspension given to Xabi Alonso, who will now miss Tuesday's SuperCup Final.

Alonso was banned for the Champions League Final against Atletico Madrid in May after picking up a needless caution in Real's semi-finals second leg victory over Bayern Munchen.

During the final in Lisbon, Alonso leapt from his seat in the stands and raced down the touchline to celebrate Gareth Bale's goal with his team-mates in the 4-1 win, incurring a further European suspension.

Real appealed that latest punishment, but European football's governing body confirmed on Friday that the original decision had been upheld, meaning Alonso will miss the clash with FC Sevilla at Cardiff City Stadium next week.

grupa E - cea mai "tare"

grupa C - cea mai echilibrata, desi tind sa cred ca Leverkusen & Monaco se califica mai departe

Schimbări în UCL din sezonul viitor

Din sezonul viitor, UEFA încearcă să echilibreze puțin cea mai importantă competiție a sa, Champions League, scrie Mundo Deportivo. Printre măsurile luate, care vor schimba fața competiției, sunt și modificarea felului în care vor fi stabiliți capii de serie la tragerea la sorți.

Astfel, dacă până acum capii de serie erau stabiliți în funcție de coeficientul cluburilor, din sezonul viitor în prima urnă la tragerea la sorți vor face parte automat campioanele primelor 7 campionate ale Europei (în acest moment: Spania, Anglia, Germania, Italia, Portugalia, Franța, Ucraina) plus deținătoarea trofeului. În cazul în care deținătoarea trofeului este campioana uneia din aceste 7 campionate, la capii de serie se va adăuga și campioana Rusiei, al optulea campionat din punct de vedere al coeficientului în Europa.

Dacă în acest an, la tragerea la sorți, s-ar fi aplicat această modificare, am fi avut următorii capi de serie: Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munchen, Juventus, Benfica, PSG, Șahtior Donețk. Adevărații capi de serie la ediția din acest an au fost: FC Barcelona, Bayern, Chelsea, Benfica, Atletico, Arsenal și FC Porto.

Așadar, și-ar fi pierdut calitatea de capi de serie echipe ca FC Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal și FC Porto, care ar fi ajuns în urna a doua. Începând cu această a doua urnă rămâne valabil, și de anul viitor, coeficientul individual al cluburilor.

Astfel, începând din sezonul viitor, marile echipe din Spania și Anglia vor avea doar două variante pentru a ajunge capi de serie: fie să câștige competiția, fie campionatul intern.

Cum doar una poate câștiga UCL și doar câte una ligile interne, echipe ca FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United sau City pot ajunge în urna a doua.

Schalke dealt Howedes blow

Schalke have been dealt another injury blow with the news captain Benedikt Howedes will miss Wednesday's clash with Chelsea.

The centre-back will play no part in the Bundesliga side's opening UEFA Champions League fixture at Stamford Bridge due to a hip problem.

Howedes joins the likes of Leon Goretzka (hamstring), Jefferson Farfan (knee), Fabian Giefer (adductors) and Sead Kolasinac (knee) in a busy Schalke treatment room.

Schalke coach Jens Keller was understandably disappointed to lose the 26-year-old, who was a member of Germany's World Cup winning team, for such an important clash but he still plans on playing with four in defence.

"Losing the captain doesn't make things easier", Keller said.

"We will play with four at the back, but we haven't got many options."

Milano to host 2016 Champions League Final

Milano's Stadio Giuseppe Meazza - otherwise known as San Siro - has been selected to host the 2016 UEFA Champions League Final.

The decision was made at Thursday's UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Nyon and it will be the 4th time the European Cup has been decided at the stadium after showpiece occasions in 1965, 1970 and 2001. The arena, first opened in 1926, is home to both AC Milan and Internazionale Milano, and has a capacity of nearly 80,000 seats for UEFA competitions.

Trondheim set to stage 2016 UEFA SuperCup

The 2016 UEFA SuperCup will be played at Trondheim's Lerkendal Stadion, the home of Norwegian powerhouse Rosenborg.

The decision was made at Thursday's UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Nyon. The game will be the first European club Final to be played in Norway, with Trondheim following in the footsteps of Prague (2013), Cardiff (2014) and Tbilisi (2015), the previous cities to be awarded the UEFA SuperCup since the switch from its permanent home of Monaco.
