The group stage consists of 32 teams: the 22 automatic qualifiers and the 10 winners of the play-off round (five through the Champions Route, five through the League Route). The teams are drawn into eight groups of four, and play each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The top two teams in each group advance to the first knockout round, while the third-placed teams drop down to the Europa League round of 32. The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings: 1 Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question; 2 Superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question; 3 Higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question; 4 Higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question; 5 If, after having applied criteria 1 to 4, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 4 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 6 to 12 apply; 6 superior goal difference in all group matches; 7 Higher number of goals scored in all group matches; 8 Higher number of away goals scored in all group matches; 9 Higher number of wins in all group matches; 10 Higher number of away wins in all group matches; 11 Lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points); 12 Higher club coefficient.
