Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals puts them in a strong position for the second leg in Madrid next Wednesday. However, several key players face suspension risks that could affect their chances in the semi-finals.
According to Football.London, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Martinelli, and Thomas Partey could miss the first leg of the semi-finals if they receive a yellow card in the second leg. All four players had two yellow cards before the first leg. A third yellow card would trigger a one-match suspension. Fortunately, they avoided bookings in the 3-0 win. Partey was the only player booked.
Partey now joins the others with two yellow cards. If any player gets a yellow card in Madrid, they will miss the first leg of the semi-finals if Arsenal advances. UEFA’s yellow card rules are key here. Yellow cards expire after the quarter-finals, so players won’t carry bookings into the semi-finals. However, players who reach three yellow cards before the quarter-finals will miss the next match.
To clarify, any Arsenal player who gets a yellow card in Madrid will miss the first leg of the semi-finals if Arsenal advances. If they avoid yellow cards, their slate resets, and they won’t face suspension. No player will miss the final, even with bookings in both legs of the semi-finals, unless they receive a red card or are sent off for violent conduct.
Arsenal heads to Madrid with a comfortable lead. They hope to avoid further bookings and secure a semi-final spot without suspension concerns.
