Champions League: Which Players Risk Semi-Final Ban with Next Yellow Card?

The race to the Champions League semifinals has shifted both on the pitch and in the disciplinary standings. Two quarterfinal second legs have already changed who faces suspension ahead of the last four.

PSG clear yellow-card danger after Anfield

Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 win at Anfield. The result completed a 4-0 aggregate victory over Liverpool.

Liverpool players Ibrahima Konaté and Alexis Mac Allister received yellow cards in the match. Their cautions no longer matter after Liverpool’s elimination.

Atlético shrug off cautions with win over Barcelona

Atlético Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 at the Metropolitano. They progressed 3-2 on aggregate to reach the semifinals.

Barcelona saw Gavi booked and Eric García sent off. Those disciplinary outcomes are irrelevant following Barça’s exit.

With PSG and Atlético now through, several teams still carry players one booking away from a semi-final ban. Real Madrid could see suspensions if they overturn their tie against Bayern Munich.
