How the league works

The Champions League is a single-elimination tournament. The teams are seeded into four groups of six, and each team plays each of the other teams in their group once. The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage.

The knockout stage consists of a round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final. The final is played at a neutral venue, and the winner is crowned champions of the Champions League.
