What does it mean to shuffle the Champions League?

Simply put, the reshuffle of the Champions League is the act of washing off the yellow card in advance, with the purpose of arranging the schedule in the future.

In my impression, in the Champions League, three players were suspended for one game, and some main players of the team got two yellow cards. Then if the next two games are not difficult opponents, the team will arrange for him (or consciously) to get a yellow card in the next game, and then in the second game, the accumulated yellow card will be cleared after the player is suspended, and there will be no pressure to eat cards in the following games. This behavior is called shuffling.

In fact, all kinds of football matches have players who have accumulated multiple yellow cards and have to suspend for one game, mainly to reduce violent fouls and tactical fouls on the court.

At the same time, the discussion on the reform of the Champions League has always been an important topic within UEFA. When the Champions League draw ceremony is held in Monaco in August this year, UEFA will formally put forward the reform plan of the Champions League at the meeting of the European Football Club Association held in the same period.
