How did the draws work?

  • There were three draws: for the quarter-finals; for the semi-finals, pitting together quarter-final ties; and then a third to determine the 'home' side in the final for administrative reasons.
  • There were no seedings and no country protection, so teams can face opposition from the same national association.

Where will the games take place?

The final will be held at Benfica's Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica
