key new rules for the Champions League and Europa League are as follows:
- Teams can have 12 substitutes at their disposal in the final.
- Teams can make a fourth substitute in the knockout rounds during extra-time.
- Clubs can register three new eligible players 'without any restrictions' after the group stages to allow for winter transfers.
- Champions League kick-offs will be at 20:00 GMT (15 minutes later than the current time of 19:45).
With the prestigious tournaments already well underway, these alterations will come into practice in the 2018/19 season.
