The impressive London "Arsenal" team, making strides in the UEFA Champions League, intends to take advantage of a quietly adjusted UEFA rule from the previous season.

According to English media, if the "Gunners" finish among the top four clubs in the regular season, they will play all their home leg matches in the knockout stage in front of their own fans.

Previously, UEFA had established that such a right was not earned based on good past results in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

For example, in the previous season, Arsenal had to play the return leg of the quarterfinal match against Real Madrid away, despite having recorded better results in the autumn months.
