Demystifying the UEFA Champions League Format: A Step-by-Step Guide

So for those who don’t really understand the format let me explain so that you can understand critically so, um, it’s a group of 32 teams right? Each one team will play against eight teams right? And, um, from port 1 port 2 port 3 port 4 so you’re gonna they they picked two two teams from each port that each team is gonna play against right? So Barcelona is going to play two teams in part 1 two teams in part 2 two teams in part 3 and two teams in part 4 which gave us the eight teams that Barcelona is going to play against now but Butaka will play four home four away so they’re not playing a home and away four home four away against the eight different teams now in the group phase eight teams will qualify automatically right? Eight teams will qualify automatically then from um 9 to 24 will play a playoff after the eight teams are qualified automatically so from that playoff they will now pick another eight teams that will now make the top 16 that will go into the round of sixteen right? So that is how the format is the the teams that do not do well in the playoff we now move to the Europa League then those ones that are not even part of the team that will play in the playoff are completely out of the European competitions so that’s how it is divided right for Those who don’t understand how the format works.
