UEFA Champions League 2020/21 rule changes that will affect Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United


Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and other top clubs will find out their opponents in the Champions League, as the draw for the group stage is set to take place on Thursday, October 1. Last season saw the tournament finish with a mini-tournament in Lisbon for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. It saw several rule changes made as football reacted to the Covid-19 pandemic and some of those measures have been extended into the 2020/21 season. In Lisbon, clubs were permitted to make five substitutes off the bend. So, for the 2020/21 season, Champions League teams will be permitted to name a total of 12 substitutes to the bench, with managers allowed to introduce five in three different spells over the 90 minutes of the match. While the Premier League is tearing itself apart over a new interpretation of the handball rule, and how VAR is used, this season, nothing has changed in the Champions League. VAR will be available in the group stages of the Champions League, as it was last season, while Europa League sides will have to wait until the knockout rounds for the technology to be applied.
