The Champions League includes the following schedules: three rounds of qualifying, one round of play-offs, group matches and four rounds of elimination.
Qualifier:
In the three rounds of qualifying and play-offs, the team will play a game against the opponent at home and away, and the team with more goals will qualify for the next round. If the two teams score the same number of goals, then the one with more away goals will advance.
Group stage:
Ten teams will advance from the play-offs to the group stage, five of which are from countries with high league level, and the other five are league champions from other countries. These ten teams will participate in the group stage together with 22 other teams that have been directly promoted. These teams will be divided into eight groups with four teams in each group. From September to 65438+February, each team will play two host-guest matches with three other opponents in the group, and finally take the top two in the group to advance to the knockout stage. The third place in each group will directly advance to the top 32 of the Europa League.
Elimination stage:
From 16 to the semi-finals, each team will participate in two competitions, and the promotion rules are the same as those of 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.
Final:
The final was decided by a tie. Those who didn't win in 90 minutes went into 30 minutes of overtime and still didn't win, penalty shoot-out.
