On the evening of December 13, Beijing time, the draw ceremony for the 2021-22 Champions League quarterfinals was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, with former Arsenal legend Arshavin as the draw guest. In the end, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Juve and Chelsea drew the lottery. Bayern met Atletico, Inter Milan met Ajax, Manchester United played Paris Saint-Germain, and messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will meet again.
According to the latest rules for this season's Champions League knockout rounds, the teams that participate in the round of 16 draw are the top two teams in the eight groups. The first team in the group is the seeded team and the second group is the non-seeded team.
As a result, Manchester City, Liverpool, Ajax, Real Madrid, Bayern, Manchester United, Lille and Juve become seeded teams. Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico, Sporting Portugal, Inter Milan, Benfica, Villarreal, Salzburg Red Bull and Chelsea are unseeded teams.
Seeded teams will have a "away-first-master" advantage in the quarter-finals, teams from the same country will avoid the quarter-finals, and teams that meet in the group stage will not meet in the first round of the knockout round.
It is worth noting that this season's Champions League knockout stages will abolish the away scoring rules, regardless of the number of goals scored by the team at home and away, and if there is a draw after 180 minutes, it will enter extra time. If you are still unable to divide the winners and losers in extra time, you will enter a penalty shootout.
It is reported that the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 is scheduled to be held on February 16/17 and February 23/24 Beijing time, and the second leg is scheduled to be held on March 9/10 and March 16/17, and the kick-off time is 4:00 a.m. Beijing time.
