City and stadium clashes

Based on the decision received from the relevant local authorities and as confirmed by the national association, AC Milan and FC Internazionale Milano, who both share the same stadium for home matches, could not play on the same night, nor at home within 24 hours.

As is the case each season when it comes to determining the match calendar after all competition draws, Paragraph 23.02 of the competition regulations (currently for the competition cycle 21/24) and the associated principles set by the Club Competitions Committee, set out the process to resolve stadium or city clashes. In this case, as both clubs were drawn with the same sequence (first leg at home), AC Milan, being the domestic champion, had priority, irrespective of the opponents of either team.

Therefore, the match involving AC Milan was not reversed.

The full fixture list will be available after the draw ceremony, by 18:00 CET at the latest.
