How the Champions League table works

Under the league phase system, the top eight automatically go through to the last 16, with the top four claiming home advantage for the second leg of the next stage and the quarter-finals, should they make it.

The top two teams in the table will also be given second-leg home advantage in the semi-finals.

Those finishing ninth to 24th will battle it out for a spot in the last-16 in the play-offs.

While teams that finish 25th to 36th are eliminated from Europe.
