Champions League Season 2001 - 2002: How it works

Stage 1 - 32 teams are split into 8 groups of four using an amazingly complicated procedure that involves seedings and keeping clubs from the same country apart. Where two teams are level on points they are separated firstly by the results against each other rather than overall record. Top two qualify for Stage Two - 3rd in the group enters the UEFA Cup at the 3rd Round stage. 
Stage 2 -  16 teams are split into 4 groups of 4. The top 2 in each group qualify for the knockout stages
