UEFA are considering three major format changes for the Champions League next season, one of which comes after a complaint from Arsenal.
The adopted its new Swiss model league phase this season, but could already make new changes from the start of next season.
According to German outlet Bild, three new changes are being considered for the 2025/26 campaign with a meeting scheduled to discuss the proposals.
The first comes after raised concerns that they were playing most of their knockout games away from home.
are reportedly mulling over a change of their rules that would mean teams finishing higher in the league phase will get the home advantage in the second-leg of the knockout stages.
At the moment, teams who finish in the top eight of the league phase bypass a play-off round and automatically play their last 16 second-leg at home.
However, quarter-finals and semi-finals don't receive the same treatment.
Arsenal had to play the , and will have to play away for the second-leg of their upcoming semi-final against PSG too.
Arsenal finished third in the league phase and feel they should be rewarded for that with most fans accepting that there is a slight advantage to playing the second leg at home.
By comparison, (11th) and PSG (15th) both finished outside the top eight and had to win a play-off game to advance into the last 16.
Uefa are also considering removing extra-time.
Europe's footballing body are thinking about sending ties that finish level straight to penalties to try and ease player workload amidst widespread concern for increasing injuries.
The final proposed change is regarding teams from the same domestic league facing one and other.
Prior to this season's new format domestic rivals couldn't be drawn against each other in the group stage or the last 16.
But the new league phase system only stops teams from playing their compatriots during the initial league phase and not during the last 16.
That meant that this year's tournament saw PSG face fellow side Brest in the play-offs, while played and Real Madrid took on fierce rivals Atletico Madrid in the round of 16.
Uefa are thought to think that these types of fixtures are not as attractive to fans and broadcasters, so are considering re-implementing their previous protection rules.
The three proposed rules are set to be discussed in Munich next month at a meeting between The Club Competitions Committee, one day before this year's final.
