Champions League Season 1998 - 1999: How it works

Entry to the Champions League was extended this season to include the runners up in the top eight European leagues. Two Qualifying Rounds filtered 16 from 48 clubs who progressed into the Group Stage of 6 groups of 4. These 16 clubs were joined in the Group Stage by the top eight seeded clubs.

The 6 group winners proceeded to the knockout stage together with two 'lucky losers' - the two teams finishing 2nd in their group with the best record.
