The 2021–22 UEFA Champions League knockout phase began on 15 February with the round of 16 and will end on 28 May 2022 with the final at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, to decide the champions of the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League.[1] A total of 16 teams compete in the knockout phase.[2]

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

Qualified teams

The knockout phase involves 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 England Manchester City France Paris Saint-Germain
B England Liverpool Spain Atlético Madrid
C Netherlands Ajax Portugal Sporting CP
D Spain Real Madrid Italy Inter Milan
E Germany Bayern Munich Portugal Benfica
F England Manchester United Spain Villarreal
G France Lille Austria Red Bull Salzburg
H Italy Juventus England Chelsea

Format

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

The mechanism of the draws for each round is 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 could not be drawn against each other.
  • In the draws for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, 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 is played at a neutral venue).

For the quarter-finals and semi-finals, teams from the same city are not scheduled to play at home on the same day or on consecutive days, due to logistics and crowd control.[3] To avoid such scheduling conflict, if the two teams are drawn to play at home for the same leg, the order of legs of the tie involving the team with the lower domestic ranking in the qualifying season is reversed from the original draw.[4]

Schedule

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

Round of 16

The draw for the round of 16 was held on 13 December 2021, originally at 12:00 CET.[5] The draw featured multiple irregularities: Manchester United were mistakenly included in the draw for Villarreal's opponent (both were in Group F), and subsequently were selected; another ball was then drawn, with Manchester City chosen instead. In the following tie, Liverpool were mistakenly included in the draw for Atlético Madrid's opponent (both were in Group B), while Manchester United were incorrectly excluded.[6] Later that day, UEFA voided the original draw due to a "technical problem" with the draw computer, and it was entirely redone at 15:00 CET.[7]

The round of 16 ties were initially drawn (and later voided) as follows:[8]

Summary

The first legs were played on 15, 16, 22 and 23 February, and the second legs were played on 8, 9, 15 and 16 March 2022.
