UEFA has announced two Champions League rule changes ahead of the new league phase campaign.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the European governing body has told all associations and clubs about two significant tweaks to the Champions League, the Europa League and the Conference League for the new season.
Firstly, the yellow card threshold has been raised, meaning a player will now need four yellow cards rather than three to pick up the first one-match ban.
Secondly, UEFA have removed its long-standing regulation that stops stadium clocks from moving beyond 45 and 90 minutes.
Meanwhile, the Champions League play-off draw was conducted earlier this week and will commence later this month.
