The UEFA Champions League comprises of three
qualifying rounds, a group stage, and four knockout rounds.
Qualifying
In matches in the three qualifying rounds, clubs play two
matches against each other on a home and away basis, with
the club scoring the greater aggregate of goals qualifying
for the next round. In the event of both teams scoring the
same number of goals, the team which scores more goals away
qualifies.
Group stage
The 16 winners of the third qualifying round ties join a similar
number of automatic entrants in the 32-team group stage. The
clubs are split into eight groups of four teams, who play
home and away against each of their pool opponents between
September and December to decide which two teams from each
pool advance to the first knockout round. The third-place
finishers in each pool enter the UEFA Cup Round of 32.
Knockout phase
From the last 16 until the semi-finals, clubs play two matches
against each other on a home and away basis with the same
rules as the qualifying rounds applied. In the last 16, group
winners play runners-up other than teams from their own pool
or nation, while from the quarter-finals on the draw is free.
Final
The final is decided by a single match - which this year will
be played in Moscow.
