The tournament has several different preliminary and qualifying rounds, but the real fun begins in the group stage with 32 teams. Clubs are divided equally into 8 different groups, with teams seeded before the draw. Each team plays its group opponents in a home and away round-robin format.
The group stage is traditionally played from September to December and is held over 6 match days. Teams from the same nations are also split up to ensure parity. After the group stage, the UCL progresses to the knockout phase, which usually begins in February and is contested by 16 clubs.
The 16 teams who finished as the top 2 in each group advance and play matches over 2 legs. Those who finished in third place in their group enter the UEFA Europa League. The knockout phase begins with the round of 16 and sees the 8 group winners seeded against the 8 runners-up.
At this point, teams still can’t be drawn against clubs from the same country or who were previously in their group. Then from the quarter-finals onwards, there are no restrictions on who will play each other through to the semi-finals and final.
The final will be held on May 28, 2022 at Saint-Denis’s Stade de France in Paris.
It’s getting close. The final 4 teams in the semi-finals are Manchester City, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Villarreal.
In the first leg of the semi-finals, Liverpool defeated Villareal 2-0 at home, but although they have a 2-goal lead, it will no doubt be a different atmosphere at the Spanish team’s home. Manchester City meanwhile overcame Real Madrid 4-3 in their first semi-final leg.
For the second leg of the semi-finals, Villarreal host Liverpool on Tuesday 3 May with a kick-off time at 3pm ET, while Real Madrid host Manchester City on Wednesday 4 May, with kick off at 3pm ET.
