The Champions League is divided into three rounds of qualifying, one round of play-offs, group matches and four rounds of elimination.
1, qualifying stage, including three rounds of qualifying and play-offs, the team will play two home and away games with opponents in each round.
The team with more goals is qualified for the next round. If it is a draw, use the number of goals scored away from home, and then decide to qualify on penalties.
2. 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 automatically promoted teams.
They will be divided into 8 groups with 4 teams in each group. Each team will play against three other opponents in the same group twice, from September to 65438+February every year. In the end, 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.
3. In the knockout stage, from 16 to the semi-finals, each team has to play two games 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.
The final will be decided by a game.
Champions League football:
Adidas announced the brand-new official match ball for the 20 18- 19 European Champions League today. It inherits the most representative classic form of the "Planet" series, but it is very different from the past-the background color and pattern color of football are exchanged, supporting a clear white five-pointed star on a novel blue background.
The dark blue night sky, which originated from the official symbol of the Champions League, not only draws a clear spherical boundary, but also shines with subtle details, patterns and textures.
At the same time, the collocation of several different blue tone images symbolizes that football has been rolling until the decisive battle in Madrid on June 19.
This design of the match ball ensures that players can get excellent football performance under various complicated conditions. Just like all previous Adidas Champions League matches, the outer structural coating of the ball provides reliable grip and sufficient control. The hot-bonded star-shaped sheet not only makes the spherical surface seamless, but also improves the feeling of touching the ball for the first time.
