Competition mechanism of champions league
The Champions League is divided into three rounds of qualifying, one round of play-offs, group matches and four rounds of elimination.
In the qualifying stage, including three rounds of qualifying and play-offs, teams will play two home and away games with their opponents in each round, and the team with more goals will qualify for the next round. If it's a draw, use the number of goals scored in the away game, and then use the penalty shootout to decide the qualifying.
In the group stage, the winners of 65,438+00 play-offs-five from the championship route and five from the ranking route-will form the group stage together with 32 teams and 22 teams that automatically advance. They will be divided into 8 groups, with 4 teams in each group, and each team will play two games with three other opponents in the same group.
The time is from September to 65438+February every year, and eventually two teams will stand out and advance to the first round of elimination. The third place in each group will enter the top 32 of the European League.
In the knockout stage, from the top 16 to the semi-finals, each team has to play twice with its opponents in each round, and the promotion rules are the same as those in the qualifiers and play-offs. In the pre-16 stage, the champions, runners-up and teams from the same country did not meet. However, after entering the quarter-finals, this rule is no longer effective.
