Elimination Round Draw Rules

In the Round of 16 draw, the eight teams that qualified directly from the top eight in the league phase will be seeded, while the eight winners of the knockout play-offs will be unseeded. The draw will divide the teams into four groups based on a pre-determined matchup, with each seeded team playing one of two possible opponents. Seeded teams will play their first match away and the second at home.

The specific matchups and order of the quarterfinals and semifinals are predetermined according to the schedule. Higher-ranked seeded teams, if they advance, will have the advantage of playing the second leg at home in each round. If a seeded team is eliminated, the team that eliminated them will take their seed position until the final.

This draw will be the final draw of the Champions League season, determining each team's opponents in the Round of 16 and their placement in the knockout stages. Following the draw, all teams will know their potential opponents on their path to the finals.
