Do not miss the chance to watch your favorite club clash in the Champions League on the road to the final. The final is decided by a single match, which this season will be played at Fußball Arena München on Saturday 19 May 2012.
The UEFA Champions League comprises three qualifying rounds, a play-off round, a group stage and four knockout rounds.
Qualifying
In matches in the three qualifying rounds and the play-off stage, clubs play two matches against each other on a home-and-away basis. The club which scores the greater aggregate of goals qualifies for the next round, with away goals and then penalties used to determine the winner in the event of a draw.
Group stage
The ten winners in the play-off round ties – five from the best-placed path and five from the champions path – join 22 automatic entrants in the 32-team group stage. The clubs are split into eight groups of four teams, who play home and away against each of their pool opponents between September and December to decide which two teams from each section advance to the first knockout round. The third-place finishers in each group enter the UEFA Europa League round of 32.
Knockout phase
From the last 16 until the semi-finals, clubs play two matches against each other on a home-and-away basis with the same rules as the qualifying and play-off rounds applied. In the last 16, group winners play runners-up other than teams from their own pool or nation, while from the quarter-finals on the draw is free.
Champions League Final
The final is decided by a single match, which this season will be played at Fußball Arena München on Saturday 19 May 2012.

The UEFA.com users’ Team of the Year 2011 list includes some familiar names – most from Real Madrid and AC Milan. Garreth Bale is the only player from the Premier League.
Iker Casillas (Real Madrid CF & Spain); Daniel Alves (FC Barcelona), Gerard Piqué (FC Barcelona & Spain), Thiago Silva (AC Milan), Marcelo (Real Madrid CF); Arjen Robben (FC Bayern München & Netherlands), Xavi Hernández (FC Barcelona & Spain), Andrés Iniesta (FC Barcelona & Spain), Gareth Bale (Tottenham Hotspur FC & Wales); Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid CF & Portugal).
Coach: Josep Guardiola (FC Barcelona)
Cristiano Ronaldo’s appearance – his first as a forward after four straight years in right midfield, makes him only the second player to gain six nominations after Carles Puyol.
Iker Casillas is in goal for the fifth year running, the first man to be picked in any position that many times in a row, and for the last four seasons he has now been accompanied by Xavi Hernández and Lionel Messi.
With 11 teams now having been assembled from millions of votes over the years, UEFA.com has put together an unofficial XI based around those past selections. While remaining true to the traditional 4-4-2 formation, we have shown flexibility towards certain positions – such as moving Puyol out to left-back (where no specialist has been chosen more than twice, and where the Barcelona centre-half has often turned out).

Champions League Update – Tickets
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – MAN UTD OUT
Manchester United lost to Basel and failed to progress to the last 16 of the Champions League.
The Red Devils suffered a 2-1 defeat to Swiss side Basel on Wednesday, and will now feature in the Europa League.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists his youngsters coming under fire represent the future at Old Trafford.
Ferguson said, “These young players have already achieved many things.
“Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Danny Welbeck have all played for their country. These will be the foundation of the club in a few years’ time, there is no question about that.
“These young players got a nasty experience on Wednesday but they know they have the trust of myself and their coaches.
“They will not be hounded because of one bad performance. Time will prove us right.”

Fernando Torres, FC Chelsea
FC Chelsea hopes to capture the Champions League crown this campaign.
Chelsea manager, Andre Villas-Boas recently called for FC Chelsea fans to put their ‘full support’ with the club.
Chelsea suffered a third home defeat in four games in all competitions on Tuesday evening after losing 2-0 to Liverpool in the Carling Cup quarter-finals.
“Away from home we’ve been more solid statistically and as a team,” said Villas-Boas. “At home we just haven’t been good enough.
“We need to get our fans behind us and get the emotion right. You can feel Stamford Bridge has become anxious.
“We therefore need support. We need atmosphere to get us past this period.
“We have two big games at home where we need our fans behind us and I’m sure they’ll do exactly that.”
Fernando Torres has only scored in one game since he was sent off against Swansea City.
Villas-Boas was asked about Torres, and if he will imporve.
“It will come with confidence and time. We believe in him and will continue to pursue his individual form.
“Our task as technical staff is to get the best out of players and if we don’t do that then we have failed.
“It takes time and Fernando faces a tough time. He must compete because at the moment Didier Drogba is showing good signs.”

Champions League Update
Andres Villas recently chatted about the importance of the Champions League to FC Chelsea.
“The Champions League is a competition that is life and death and this standard won’t be enough,” he said.
“We will need to up the tempo and play that game with the ultimate desire.”
“For our Premier League challenge to be alive we need to make the most of our December fixtures,” said Vilas-Boas.
“If we are able to do that we can get it back on track, not that we can’t get back on track after. If we do well in December it will have a major impact
“We recovered two points on our near opponents when we beat Wolves last weekend, which was good.
“But for us to challenge for the Premier League we need to make the most of our December fixtures because we play most of the top teams.
“I’m not a wizard so I can’t say for sure what will happen after December.
“The FA Cup and Champions League come into play next year, so we don’t know what will happen in March and April.
“But it’s a fact that if we get points from December, it will put our challenge back on track.”
December is shaping up to be a pivotal month for Chelsea, with the Champions League clash with Valencia accompanied by crucial Premier League fixtures against Newcastle, Manchester City and Tottenham.
Chelsea is out of the Carling Cup competition, with a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool ending their involvement at the quarter-final stage.
The Champions League is the most coveted by owner Roman Abramovich and Villas-Boas is expected to have the Blues challenging for the European crown.
