There is no need for the same country to escape in the draw for the top 8 of the Champions League, and there are no seedless teams. The semi-final draw will be followed by the 1/4 final draw, which means that the team will know all the potential opponents leading to the final.
Manchester City and Manchester United will not play at home at the same time, and the local security department has made this decision. Therefore, if the Manchester City duo also arrange home games within one week, then the teams ranked lower in the domestic league will have the order of home and away games reversed. If the semi-final encounters the same situation, it will be adjusted according to the same principle according to the specific situation.
There are lots for the final: the Champions League final will be held in Madrid, and the home and away games will be decided by lots.
Interpretation of rules:
Six years ago, the lottery rules of the Champions League changed a lot. At that time, the rule was to draw lots twice in the knockout round, 16 once before, once in the top eight, and then draw lots for the top eight in advance for the semi-finals. In fact, the essence is to determine the half area, and the top four draw lots to fill in the blanks.
After 20 12 Chelsea won the cup, the rules of drawing in the Champions League were greatly changed, and it became three draws in the knockout stage, and four imposed one draw. Uefa wants to make this game more suspenseful and exciting. Nowadays, the focus of the rule change is to change back to the lottery rules of two lottery.
The home and away games will be decided by drawing lots:1/The home and away games in the final will be decided in the order of drawing lots, and the home and away games will also be decided by drawing lots in the semi-finals and finals.
In addition, there are four Premier League teams in the Champions League quarter-finals and two teams in Manchester. In this case, it is necessary to communicate with the security department. Manchester City security thought that two consecutive home games could not bear the pressure of hosting the games, so UEFA decided to explain the rules. For example, if Manchester City and Manchester City are the first home games and play on the same match day, then Manchester United, which ranks lower, will become the first home game. For example, Manchester United actually used the rules, and the forced "first host and then guest" became "first guest and then host", and playing away first occupied a certain psychological advantage.
