Clubs from the same association could not be drawn into the same group. Each club plays one home and one away match against each other club in its group. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and no points for a defeat. If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings. a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question; b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question; c) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question; d) superior goal difference from all group matches played; e) higher number of goals scored; f) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question as well as its association, over the previous five seasons. The eight group winners and eight runners-up of the group stage qualify for the first knockout round, to be played over two legs on 15/16/22/23 February and 8/9/15/16 March 2011. The clubs that finish this stage in third position in their group move into the round of 32 of the UEFA Europa League. The clubs that finish this stage in fourth position in their group are eliminated from UEFA club competition for the season. This year's UEFA Champions League final is in London on 28 May 2011. • Disciplinary information: As a rule, a player who is sent off is suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is entitled to augment this punishment. In the case of repeated cautions, a player is suspended for one match after three cautions in three different matches, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc). Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carried forward either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in the current season. • Locally-trained players rule: In February 2005, UEFA announced the 'A' list that teams submit for UEFA club competitions will continue to be limited to 25 players, and since 2007/08, at least six places have been reserved for players trained by the club's own football academy of which half could be players trained by other clubs from within the same association of the said club. The 'B' list continues to exist – involving an unlimited number of Under-21 players who have been at the club for any uninterrupted period of two years since their 15th birthday. In 2006/07, the number of locally-trained players required began at four but rose to eight in 2008/09, with up to half of each figure allowed to be association trained. A club-trained player is defined as a player who has been registered for a minimum of three seasons with the club between the age of 15 and 21, whereas an association-trained player is one who has been registered for at least three seasons by the club or by other clubs affiliated to the same association between the age of 15 and 21. • Player registration: UEFA regulations state that a player may not play in a UEFA club competition for more than one club in the course of the same season. However, a player who has been fielded in the first, second or third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League is entitled to play for another club as from the group stage, provided that his former club did not qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Moreover, as from the start of the round of 16, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players. One player of those three who has played UEFA club competition matches for another competing club in the current season may exceptionally be registered, provided that the player has not been fielded in the same competition for another club or for another club that is currently in the same competition. • Disclaimer: Although UEFA has taken all reasonable care that the information contained within this document is accurate at the time of publication, no representation or guarantee (including liability towards third parties), expressed or implied, is made as to its accuracy, reliability or completeness.
