As a rule, a player or a team official sent off the field of play and/or its immediate surroundings, including the technical area, is automatically suspended for the next match in the competition. In the event of a serious offence, the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment, including by extending it to other competitions.
During the league phase, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after two cautions and any subsequent even-numbered caution (e.g. fourth, sixth).
Cautions and pending yellow-card suspensions expire at the end of a team's involvement in the competition.
For the finals, cautions that have not resulted in a suspension and pending yellow-card suspensions expire on completion of the quarter-finals.
