As a reminder, here’s how the group stage works:
UEFA website –
“With the new format, teams will play eight matches in the new 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: Qualification for the round of 16.
9th to 24th: Qualification for a two-legged playoff round.
25th to 36th: Elimination from all European competitions.
