Champions League Season 2002 - 2003: 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 next stage Stage 2 - the competition follows a regular knock out format with the 8 teams entering at the Quarter Final stage |
