2022–23 UEFA Champions League knockout phase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2022–23 UEFA Champions League knockout phase began on 14 February with the round of 16 and ended on 10 June 2023 with the final at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, to decide the champions of the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League.[1] A total of 16 teams competed in the knockout phase.[2]

Times are CET/CEST,[note 1] as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).

Qualified teams

[edit]

The knockout phase involved the 16 teams which qualified as winners and runners-up of each of the eight groups in the group stage.

Group Winners
(seeded in round of 16 draw)
Runners-up
(unseeded in round of 16 draw)
A Italy Napoli England Liverpool
B Portugal Porto Belgium Club Brugge
C Germany Bayern Munich Italy Inter Milan
D England Tottenham Hotspur Germany Eintracht Frankfurt
E England Chelsea Italy Milan
F Spain Real Madrid Germany RB Leipzig
G England Manchester City Germany Borussia Dortmund
H Portugal Benfica France Paris Saint-Germain

Format

[edit]

Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, then 30 minutes of extra time was played (the away goals rule was not applied). If the score was still level at the end of extra time, the winners were decided by a penalty shoot-out. In the final, which was played as a single match, if the score was level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the score was still level.[2]

The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

  • In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners were seeded, and the eight group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
  • In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could be drawn against each other. As the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals were held together before the quarter-finals were played, the identity of the quarter-final winners was not known at the time of the semi-final draw. A draw was also held to determine which semi-final winner was designated as the "home" team for the final (for administrative purposes as it was played at a neutral venue).

For the quarter-finals and semi-finals, teams from the same city (e.g. A.C. Milan and Inter Milan, who share the same stadium), were not scheduled to play at home on the same day or consecutive days, due to logistics and crowd control.[3] To avoid such scheduling conflict, if the two teams were drawn to play at home for the same leg, the order of legs of the tie involving the team which was not titleholders of Champions League or Europa League (or lower-tier, if both were continental titleholders), or the team with the lower domestic ranking in the qualifying season (if neither team were continental title holder, e.g. Inter Milan for this season) was reversed from the original draw.[4][5]

Schedule

[edit]

The schedule was as follows (all draws were held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland).[1]
