Competition
Information:
Tiebreaking
format
If in the group stage of the Champions
League two or more teams finish equal on points after all the group
matches have been played, the following criteria are applied to determine
the group rankings:
1. Higher number of points obtained in the matches between the teams
in question
2. Superior goal difference from the matches between the teams in question
3. Higher number of goals scored away from home in the matches between
the teams in question
4. Superior goal difference from all group matches played
5. Higher number of goals scored
6. Coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as
its association, over the previous five seasons
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. The Luzhniki Sadium in Moscow
will host the 2007/08 UEFA Champions League final on Wednesday 21 May.
