Champions League Season 2004 - 2005: 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 - the competition follows a regular knock out format from Stage 2 onwards
