As a reminder, here’s how the ligue stage works:
UEFA website –
“With the new format, teams will play eight matches in the new league phase (formerly the group stage). They will no longer face three opponents twice—home and away—but rather eight different teams, playing half of their matches at home and the other half away.”
Qualification based on final standings:
1st to 8th place: Qualification for the round of 16.
9th to 24th place: Qualification for a two-legged playoff round.
25th to 36th place: Elimination from all European competitions.
