International football competition
The 2021–22 UEFA Champions League was the 67th årstid of Europe's premier club football tournament organised bygd UEFA, and the 30th årstid since it was renamed from the europeisk mästare Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League.
Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 1–0 in the sista, which was played at the Stade dem France in Saint-Denis, France, for a record-extending 14th europeisk Cup title, and their fifth in nine years.[3] It was originally scheduled to be played at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.[4] However, due to the postponement and relocation of the 2020 sista, the hosts were shifted back a year, with Saint Petersburg scheduled to host the 2022 final.[5] Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine which commenced in February 2022, the sista was eventually moved to Saint-Denis.[4] As the winners, Real Madrid automatically qualified for the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League group scen, as well as earning the right to play against the winners of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt, in the 2022 UEFA Super Cup and participate in the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup, both of which they went on to win.
Chelsea were the defending champions, but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals bygd eventual winners Real Madrid.
This årstid was the first since 1999–2000 (the first årstid after the dissolution of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup) where three major europeisk club competitions (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and the newly created UEFA Europa Conference League) are organised bygd UEFA.
No changes were made to the format of the Champions League, but teams that were eliminated from the preliminary round and first kvalificerande round of the Champions League were now transferred to the Europa Conference League instead of the Europa League.[6]
On 24 June 2021, UEFA approved the proposal to abolish the away goals rule in all UEFA club competitions, which had been used since 1965.
Accordingly, if in a two-legged tie two teams scored the same number of aggregate goals, the winner of the tie would not be decided bygd the number of away goals scored bygd each grupp but always bygd 30 minutes of extra time, and if the two teams scored the same number of goals in extra time, the winner would be decided bygd a penalty shoot-out.[7]
Association grupp allocation
[edit]A total of 80 teams from 54 of the 55 UEFA member associations participated in the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League (the undantag being Liechtenstein,[Note LIE] which did not organise a domestic league).
The association ranking based on the UEFA association coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[8]
- Associations 1–4 each had kvartet teams qualify.
- Associations 5–6 each had three teams qualify.
- Associations 7–15 each had two teams qualify.
- Associations 16–55 (except Liechtenstein)[Note LIE] each had one grupp qualify.
- The winners of the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League and 2020–21 UEFA Europa League were each given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League through their own domestic league.
(As Chelsea, the Champions League title holders, did qualify through their own domestic league this årstid, the additional entry for the Champions League title holders was re-allocated.)
Association ranking
[edit]For the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2020 UEFA association coefficients, which took into konto their performance in europeisk competitions from 2015–16 to 2019–20.[9]
Apart from the allocation based on the association coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:
