In the Conference League… the format is also copied, although with nuances
Each team will face six opponents, one from each pot. The draw will begin with pot 1, assigning opponents to all teams, one after the other, and will continue with the other pots in descending order until all teams have been assigned opponents.
18:07
In the Europa League the format is copied
With 36 teams (four at home and four away), the top eight in the standings go directly to the round of 16, ninth to 24th play the play-offs in a knockout round, and from 25th place onwards they will be eliminated.
18:06
The final will be on May 31 at the Allianz Arena
Bayern Munich’s stadium will host the final match of the competition this season.
18:02
There will be internal checks after each ball is drawn.
Before teams are proposed as opponents, an automated software check is performed within the application to ensure that the draw can still be completed for each team, so that we avoid a deadlock situation where subsequent teams have no valid opponents from each pot.
18:00
In case of a tie there will be trouble…although they have planned for it with a regulation that favors the best attacks
They have also changed the individual goal average to the general goal average. If this did not keep the score level, the team with the most goals scored would be ahead in the table. The following criteria are: goals scored away from home, most wins and most wins away from home.
17:52
After knowing all the qualifiers for the round of 16, there will be another draw
However, this will be done taking into account the position in the classification in this way:
17:49

The European silver tournament will continue with the same competitors, leaving the essence of the competition in the hands of those who qualified from the start. The Play-offs take place today.
17:46
The first phase will be in league format, not a knockout format with a group stage.
There will be a qualifying table in which the top eight will go directly to the round of 16, while the ninth to twenty-fourth will play a preliminary round to the round of 32. The winners will then face the top eight in the round of 16.
17:43
BE CAREFUL WITH THE DAYS! There will also be Champions on Wednesdays and Thursdays
On the first day, Wednesday and Thursday will be added to the Champions League calendar days. Also on the last day of the first phase there will be 18 matches at the same time.

17:36

17:29
Each team will face eight rivals who are not from their own country.
Four home games and four away games, but not against the same rivals. A draw will be made with four pots to determine the eight rivals; each team will play against two opponents from each pot.
17:25
The draw will take place at 18:00 in Monaco
It will debut a new format with 36 teams, four pots of eight and a single general classification that will determine the best eight that go directly to the round of 16, as well as the ‘play-in’ matches (from 9th to 24th) and the first 12 eliminated.
17:23
