How does the Champions League stage work?
The new format, which began in the 2024/25 season, sees the team plays eight times in the league stage that replaces the group stage.
The team now makes fixtures on eight different aspects. The two teams of POTS 1, 2, 3 and 4 are half of the eight league games, and the other half are far away.
The draw is carried out by a supercomputer that automatically selects eight opponents with one touch.
Tottenham’s reward for the Europa League is a place in the 20525/26 Champions League stage.
Who is qualified in the rust -out round?
The top eight of the league are automatically qualified in the 16th round, and teams below 25 are removed and do not fall into the Europa League.
The team that finishes from 9th to 24th competes in the playoffs of the two legs. The team between 9 o’clock and 16th becomes seed, which will face the team that comes from home from 17th to 24th.
The eight clubs that have won the Rust -Out Phase Playoffs meet one of Seed’s best finishers in the league table in the quarter -finals.
