00:00The second legs of the Champions League quarterfinals are here and 33 players can almost breathe a huge sigh of
00:07relief as they cross their fingers, desperately hoping to be able to play in the first legs of the semi
00:13-finals.
00:14Almost, but not quite.
00:16That's right, 33 players are just one yellow card away from incurring a one-match suspension, which would see them
00:22banned for the first leg of the semi-finals.
00:25Mbappe, Bellium, Vinicius, Neuer, Yamal and Kvarezkelia, easy for me to say, are just some of the big names that
00:35really need to be on their best behaviour with referees this week.
00:38But there is some good news, if the infamous 33 are able to get through this week's games without a
00:43booking, then they'll no longer be walking a disciplinary tightrope.
00:46UEFA wipes all yellow cards in the Champions League before the semi-finals, which means players won't be suspended for
00:53the Champions League final, even if they're booked in both legs of the semi-final.
00:58Phew.
00:59The only way a player can be suspended for the Champions League final is if they're sent off in the
01:03second leg of the semi-final, or if they do something so horrific, so horrendous before then, that UEFA decides
01:10to give them a longer suspension.
01:12So come on guys, you're almost there.
